The "Problem"

If one wants to resize the rectangle to capture by mouse the recorder opens a magnifier with a green cross / fade to show the actual mouse position. This is very useful to catch the exact pixel. The problem here is, that the green fade shows the mouse position, and not the corner of the rectangle.

A possible solution

• Either sync the green cross with the corner of the rectangle
• or display the selection rectangle in the magnifier as well
• or center the mouse exactly on the rectangles corner if the user hits mouse down

P.S.: I wanted to take a gif, but this didn't work. I hope one can understand my idea.

Happy coding
Tim
