Sentry Crash Report:

Description Martin Herkt 2016-03-27 19:07:41 UTC

Currently, the usage hint in the cropper window is centered in the window instead of the currently active screen. This should be changed so it only appears on the active screen and does not span multiple physical displays.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the “rectangular region” capture mode on a system with a virtual desktop spanning multiple physical displays

Actual Results:  
Message is centered on the virtual desktop, potentially spanning multiple physical displays.

Expected Results:  
Message is centered on the physical display that corresponds to the active screen.

Fix recangle-selection help-text positioning

Summary:

When taking a screenshot with the rectangle selection tool in spectacle,
the overlaid help-text is put in the center of the entire desktop,
instead of the center of a single display. This can cause readability
issues when it is placed on the bezel of two physical displays.
This patch horizontally centers the help-text overlay on the primary display.
This affects both the "Click anywhere to start" dialogue and the hotkey help-text.

After:
