Opera built-in screenshot feature doesn't make screenshots as it should/did before

Use tags to make it easy for other users to find posts about similar issues. If posting about Opera Mail then add the 'Opera Mail' tag

My version of Windows: 10

My version of Opera: 72.0.3815.378

A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should: FFS, how can I make a screenshot to show how it should show, if it doesn't work correctly

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible: Opera built-in screenshot feature doesn't make screenshots as it should/did before. When I want to make a screenshot of some selected space, now it takes screenshot of another place

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue: What can I do? Where I can find Opera's official old versions? And if you are making such bugged version, why do you force autoupdate/install it to our device?! This is not ok! Make sure if it works on 100% before autoupdate, or just let users choose when they want to install the update!

Expected behavior and actual one: I already told, it must take screenshot where I select, not some other place, that the browser makes a screenshot idk why

• You use Opera's snapshot and select the area you want to take a screenshot from
• You take a print screen showing that selected area
• You paste that print screen in an image editor, edit it and save it
• You take a snapshot of that selected are using Opera's snapshot
• You post both images, the one showing what should be in the snapshot and actual snapshot result

@leocg The same problem appears in Facebook, and on other sites.
Like 2 months ago and before, it was awesome. No problem.
After that it started to right-shift the screenshot.
In the last days, like... few days. 5 or 7... it now does this way.
It captures some upper part of the web site

Well, I don't know, maybe when this thread is long enough?

So far I use Windows Snipping Tool (but of course built-in Opera tool would be much more convenient - if working correctly).

@mstuborg Yeah, as Opera built-in Screenshot has such problem, I'm using Windows Screen snip as well, but... Opera's was better.
It had some good features like pointers/arrows, bluring, etc. And also it has the feature to make long screenshots. I mean, scrolling screenshots. Well, I guess you got that.
So, Opera, fix it, please.
We love Opera so much, please MAKE OPERA GREAT AGAIN!

The native screenshot utility that comes with Opera has been flawed since day 1 that it was introduced.

I ended up installing Lightshot::

Not only does it really work, it allows you to use it in ANY Windows application. Also, save it to any directory you want (and remembers that location for future downloads, and in the format YOU want).

As long as no one has responded, click to ... (three dots) menu at right bottom of your comment.
