Only to mention those that annoy me most:

- Screensize is 2560x1600, Snapshot does 2560x1599 when selecting "current 
window", so 1 line of pixels missing.
- Preview window shows anything but the scene you try to snap.
- Mirrored glow on highres snapshots.
- Freeze doesnt freeze particles, clouds etc.
- Highres snapshots show weird lines in clouds and water at the center of the 
saved snapshot

not direcly snapshots but related to my photography work:

- textures not rezzing very often, on all versions of 1.23.x and Snowglobe 1.x.
- I crash a lot when doing snapshots at crowded places, like fashion shows, SL 
probably spamming memory with textures and stuff and crashing due to memory 
issues at some point.

and lots more.

And my hardware isnt that bad... Intel Quad 9300, 8GB Ram (Vista 64bit SP1), 
Geforce 260 GTX (896 MB), latest patches an drivers, 1.23.x and Snowglobe are 
worse that the 1.22.x and 1.21.x versions.
Don't tell me it's Vista 64bit, doesnt work any better on XP SP3 32bit, same 
bugs, same crashing during shows.

Here you have a list off almost all the stuff: 
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7709 (Snapshot Meta Issue)

I have the bad feeling that no one is working on snapshots anymore. Someone did 
till 1.23 and broke something with each subrelease, I saw no improvement, only 
more bugs.
