No suggestions, sorry, just observations...

- Using 'export snapshot' I got a similar error on Mac today by shooting 
a rect in an offscreen stack, where the rect was that of a *hidden* 
image object. But as long as the image object visible = true, all is well.

- On Windows I just tested this with 'export snapshot'. My results were 
same as yours. I also found that if I move my snapshot stack (or target 
rectangle) partly offscreen, only the ONscreen part of the rect is 
included in the snapshot output.
