Hi Enico (my first AM!),

Thanks for your message. However, this behavior is not a specific
issue in scrot but in some window managers. The Gimp produces the same
effect when capturing an area in KDE/Plasma in some scenarios (Gimp:
File > Create > Screenshot > Select a screen area).

There are 2 workarounds to solve this problem. The safest one that should work:

scrot --select --freeze

Or using another selection mode:

scrot --select --line mode=edge

But this last one does not behave correctly with some CWM.

Please, let me know if these options solve your problem.

Cheers,

Eriberto
