Description Richard Gladman 2017-01-15 16:24:39 UTC
Version 16.08.2

Using:
KDE Plasma 5.8.3
KDE Frameworks 5.26.0
Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1)
The xcb windowing system

Capturing an image of a tkInter based window does not include an active drop down menu in either of the active window or window under cursor area settings. 

Capturing a rectangular region works as expected.

Thanks for the report. I tested this with tkcon, here are my findings (using a 3sec delay, "current pop-up only" unchecked):

- If you open a menu and then move the mouse somewhere else inside that window, Spectacle will capture the window and the parts of the menu inside the window.
- If you open a menu and keep the mouse over the menu, only the menu will be captured.

To me it looks like as if tkInter would assign the "window" property to its menus. This means Spectacle cannot do anything to figure out where the menu is (safe for ugly hacks). I'd suggest to bring this problem to tkInter.
