Area Screen shots? And a little frustrated rant from a newbie

Assign this macro to your mouse button and see if if you get the same buggy behavior.

The macro does not press ⌘4 or ⇧⌘4, it runs the screencapture tool via the shell. So this might make a difference. Perhaps.

_[test} Simple Screen Capture with Mouse Selection Mode.kmmacros (1.4 KB)

It copies the image only to the clipboard. But it is just for testing.

If this method works for you, then you can try my Enhanced Screenshot macro, which works in a similar way but offers the full set of options (save to file, naming, etc.). Or, if this is too much, we can build something in-between.
