With Version 2.3 something changed, and now there is no box to size to set the area for the recording. When I record it just records the entire screen. In the Application settings, I have "Enable Fullscreen mode" UN-checked. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64.

Am I missing something?

That's my fault. I must have mixed some settings...

Yes, I did, Snapshot mode and Fullscreen mode are interchanged. :/

Right click on the recorder button, enable "Snapshot mode" and and disable again to go back to normal recording.

Sorry. :O

Ah! I never imagined to right-click on the record button! I right-clicked on everything else though! I was surprised when there was no menu on the options button.

Okay, so that gets me to snapshot mode - but that wasn't really my problem.

The problem is that I can't figure out how to set the size of the recording area. There is no frame to size.
I had to go back to version 2.2.

Sorry, follow this instead:

Right click on the recorder button, uncheck the "Fullscreen mode" to go back to normal recording.

Thanks; that does work - a little confusing, but it works.
