A different take on the issue.  At one point, windows in Rev that were on
monitors other than the main would display properly, but not be truly
accessible.  One function was the snapshot, as it could only be done on the
main monitor.

One solution I build would move the stack to the main monitor, take the
shot, then move it back.

Hope this helps
