The artifact that you are seeing (second gif) are due to the color quantization process. It's only possible to reduce its effect when disabling the option to paint unchanged pixels with a dummy color (chroma key).

@NickeManarin
The artifact occurs on the first animation!
The second image is fine ... and there are no artifacts!

@NickeManarin This artifact occurs during the screen recording process ... and not during the editing process.

I can see artifacts in both gifs. I'm aware of the artifacts of the second gif, when you move the window, there's some pixels with the wrong shade of the color. This happens because of the gif encoder trying and failing to find the right color.

Now, the first gif shows a trail of the window border. I'm not sure what's happening. Have you tried to disable that option, so when the window is dragged, it will move in place, instead of just the border.

I remember that got the same issue back when I was using Windows 7, specially when the computer was slow and the graphics adapter was not handling so well all changes.

@NickeManarin
The second animation works perfectly!
In these examples only the window frame should be moved (without its contents!)
sorry me for my bad english

@andrecool-68 So, you are saying that the window border is getting glitched like that only when recording?

@NickeManarin
Exactly! This happens already in the recording of the animation on the desktop.
This can be seen as happening when dragging internal windows into Notepad++.

I think that you need to contact Notepad++ devs and show this issue to them. It's something out of my control.
