XnView Software

Using the integrated capture tool, of course.

I couldn't get it to work nor using the delayed capture, nor the shortcut sensitive one.
It seems that when you open a dropdown menu, XnView temporarily disables the ability to make the capture and reactivates it as soon as you close the menu.
For what concerns the delayed capture, the timer keeps running while the menu is open.
Try this:
make a time delayed capture (5 sec) to capture a rectangle-shaped area;
open an XnView menu, e.g. View after about 1 sec;
keep it open for a while (>5 sec), then close it;
as soon as you've closed it, you will see the tool to draw the capture rectangle

This demonstrates that the timer keeps on going, but is somehow disabled

For what concerns the shortcut sensitive capture, the zoomed preview appears in the top-left corner of the screen as soon as you press the associated key even if you have a menu open. However, there's no way of drawing the rectangle at this point, so I press Esc to abort the capture


It works like a charm for other programs of course, I've just tried to take a capture of a Firefox menu and it's OK.
I don't know if it's worth fixing, I discovered it when trying to upload a capture in a bug reporting post in this forum

I've tried by capturing 'active window' & hot key, and i have the menu

Right, that works for me too.
What doesn't work is capturing a rectangle

I've uploaded a video explaining the situation here:

EDIT: sorry, posted before having completely uploaded the video. Will add download link asap
EDIT2: here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/oyngmj4tlmo/4.avi

as you can see, rectangle + F10.
As soon as I press F10 with a menu opened (but it behaves the same if you use a complex toolbar button, such as quick slideshow in view mode, which has also a dropdown menu), in the top left corner the zoomed preview appears, but I can't draw the rectangle.
All I can do is press Esc, then XnView exits the "capture mode" and the window gets resized

I understand however it's not a fundamental issue, as I said before I found it this morning while I was trying to take a screenshot of a menu to write another post.

Bye!

PS: is it normal for the program window to get resized after having taken the screenshot?
Tried with "active window" + F10
