SUMMARY
If you go into regional screenshot mode, select a region and press "save" or "save as" the resulting screenshot will jarringly flash almost fullscreen in the background while you're selecting a location to save. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into regional screenshot mode
2. Select a region
3. press save as

OBSERVED RESULT
the region that was selected gets stretched and displayed in the background 

EXPECTED RESULT
there is nothing in the background

Still happening in 24.08 except the screenshot is not stretched across the screen but is located in the center of the screen, sometimes hidden behind the Save As dialog if it is centered

No longer present in 6.4.2
