How big was the area selected? If I remember correctly, the app moves the middle of the screen if there's not enough space available at the sides.

If is not in the middle, the app is trying to display the controls at the nearest available corner (nearest from the latest know interaction of the cursor).

Can you take a screenshot of all screens when this happens?

Btw, those three actions are triggered by Enter (Accept), Right-Click (Retry) and Esc (Cancel).
(So you can use the app while this bug is not yet fixed)

Actually it doesn't care how large the capture area is, a large one or a small one both can be used to trigger this bug... Additionally, I found it usually happened on my main monitor (the right one) when I tried to select an area, but I also met this on the other monitor before.

Shortcut Key works. Thanks.
