Are you still holding down the keys after you get the crosshair? If
so, stop it. You press the keys, get the crosshair, let go of the
keys, and then drag the box around what you want. It will take the
picture when you release the mouse button from your drag
If you are holding the keys, the OS may think you want to constrain
the image to a perfect square, which appears to be what is happening
to you.
b) though it makes a click sound, I don't know where the resulting
snapshot ends up. ( not on the desktop)
I'm on iMac, OS 9.2, and was using web mail when I tried it out.
This was already answered, but I'll repeat it again for the sake of
consolidation. In OS X, the image is on the desktop (and depending on
the OS version is either a PNG or PDF, although I believe there is a
way to change what format is used in OS X), in OS 9 and prior, the
image is in the root of your hard drive (double click the hard drive
icon), and is in PICT format.
