Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/1098

Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

The setup where a laptop is connected to a monitor:
On the Playback tab, if you start the play button, you cannot stop it by a mouse click anymore!
This is only true for the additional monitor (not the main display of Windows).
Though, hitting the Space bar does toggle the play/pause as expected.

To Reproduce

1. Record a gif on the additional monitor.
2. Switch to Playback tab.
3. Click Play.
4. Click the same button again (Pause).

Expected behavior
The playback pauses.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Window 10
• Laptop on recommended resolution 1080p + Additional monitor also on recommended 1080p
• Version 2.36

Did you notice if the button was greyed out?
Also, can you still click on the pause button near the bottom right corner?

@alansalihi commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2022):

The issue is likely occurring with higher fps number and longer gif captures.
On laptop screen, I initiated the app.
I recorded the attached, desktop monitor.

When the number of captured images is high, the duration is very short, then there is a delay in response for the play/pause button when you move the app interface to the external monitor.
But it does get better (more responsive) with time.
Seems like building a cache for each monitor.

Probably not a bug.
