Start11 - New Screenshots hide behind Taskbar

from Stardock Forums

I've moved my Windows 11 Taskbar to the top of my screen (auto-hide disabled), but there is this very annoying glitch that happens, which is very disruptive to my process:

Whenever I take a screenshot using the Snipping Tool, the screenshot defaults to opening at the top of the screen, behind/under the Taskbar, which hides the top of the window.  So I have no way to drag, minimize, or close the window after that (using the mouse).  

Here is what happens:

 

This is what is supposed to happen:

 

Is this is a glitch?  Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Hey Basj, thanks so much for your response.  You helped me solve my problem, or fix the glitch rather, in an indirect way. 

I was trying to set up a video grab of the issue but after I set up the first motion capture window, and then took a screen shot, the screen shot aligned to the bottom of the screen instead of the top.  I guess the software was stuck trying to align the images to the top (under the Taskbar) but for whatever reason starting a motion capture first and then taking a screenshot seems to have reset it. 

Now whenever I take a screenshot it aligns to the bottom and I no longer have a problem.  Massive time saver for me, so thank you for that ;)

I suspect it saved screen coordinates to open at which were at the very top of the screen.
