      Hmmm. This is the image of your comment captured as-close-as-I-could fit (not so precisely, ofc). Can't see the difference between what I wanted and what I got.8f2eb0f5-49a6-4756-b46e-f78c954fbae5-image.png

        @arthurcloud said in 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

        i have been facing this issue with FB, then i installed the updated version and then the error sorted out.

          Well, I see that the serious problem with the header part of web sites is fixed now. So it only left the problem with some left shift of images. Yes, @mstuborg just try to take a screenshot of small area's, and you'll see, that there is a problem.

          Look, I want to take a screenshot of the like button exactly, but see what I get.

          Area that I selected:
          80b40469-002f-4756-9c63-65cf68c09a08-image.png

          Area that it captured

                  @arthurcloud Thank you for this message. Yesterday, I tried to take a screenshot in Donald Trump Facebook's page, and no way ! The screenshot did not take the good area... It was just a fake fix from Opera. The probleme has not been fixed at all.

                    Perhaps connected to this problem, the "Save as PDF" function also crops the top portion off from any larger websites (and as such is pretty much useless).

                      THE Solution::

                      Lightshot, a screen capture utility for ALL Windows/Mac screens, not just Opera.

                        @bbildman Lightshot is not so efficacious than expected... The options are poor. And I know a better solution : This is an opera's add-on, called Web Clipper: Easy Screenshot : https://addons.opera.com/fr/extensions/details/easy-screenshot/
                        This is easy and it works

                                I'm curious as to how you don't see Lightshot as being efficacious. A couple things that it does that Opera did not is it stores where you saved the last location, and saves it in more formats than just a png file. Also, I use Lightshot in many of my Windows applications, with a shortcut key that allows Lightshot to work comletely in other apps, for instance in PDF files, in Google Chrome, in MSConfig etc etc.

                                  You can also print directly from the image screenshot, as well as edit it before you copy or save it. (Lightshot)

                                          I hae posted many times here, use Lightshot, it's head and shoulders better than the native screenshot in Opera

                                            I have the same bug with the screenshot feature. Opera has much more bugs lately and what's the worst part they aren't getting fixed or at least commented by the devs.
