Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/568

I'm trying to record a window. Weirdly, the selection boxes don't align with open windows very well. Also interesting is that it will not let me use the right 1/4 of my main monitor. The ScreenToGif UI simply disappears past a certain line on my main monitor.

I'm suspecting this has to do with running on a computer with multiple monitors of different resolutions.

Hi, which version of ScreenToGif are you using? (v2.19.3 is the latest)

Also, which recorder are you using? Looks like it's the new recorder UI.

I'm on 2.19.3.

Yes, I think I am using the "new recorder UI". (I think I had just switched to it)

I'm trying to reproduce it but now it seems to be working well. Maybe it was a problem caused by changing UIs?

Hmm. That UI is basically a fullscreen transparent window. If the whole window is shifted to the side, all it's inner elements are going to be shifted too.

I'm going to re-work that recorder, I'm not going to use a fullscreen window anymore.

Idk. Seems better now. It felt like none of the windows lined up. Boxes were like 10% bigger than expected. Could have been just everything was shifted, but didn't notice that specifically.

The really weird behavior was the tiny screen recording "toolbar" would basically go behind a wall on the right ~25% of my main monitor and no longer be visible (whichever part was behind the invisible wall)

I think I was able to reproduce this by using this little known holdover menu option of Windows's:

By moving the recorder widget, your fullscreen interface gets moved too. This broke ScreenToGof issues on my second Windows computer temporarily.

Yes, that's what happened. Now I'm not sure how.
