My colleagues and I are also experiencing the same issue. Every time an extra monitor is connected or disconnected flameshot will get in this state and I need to restart it in order for it to work properly

Duplicate of #2849 ?

@haas-daniel Thanks for the suggestion (and please keep the coming as it is not humanely possible for me to memorize all open issues 😅 ); but I think the #2849 is related to fractional scaling, where as here it seems like we are dealing with how macOS handles monitors in different sizes. Therefore, I will keep this open

Thanks again for helping out finding the duplicates.

Experiencing the same on Windows (win10).

This happens to me as well. I use the Mac display replicated to External display. When Mac coms out of sleep, I see the Mac lock screen resize twice before settling. When I log in and try to take a screenshot, I get this limited area as described above. The work-around is to quite Flameshot and re-launch it.
