Description

When taking a screenshot and moving the mouse pointer to the top of the screen (e.g. you want to capture an area of your menu item bar), a menu bar is shown over the screen (as it is often done with fullscreen apps).
This makes it very hard to capture the top of the screen.
See screen recording below.

Steps to reproduce

  1. use keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot
  2. move mouse pointer to top of screen
  3. a menu bar is shown
  4. move mouse pointer towards the middle of the screen
  5. the menu bar vanishes again

Screenshots or screen recordings

It shows an area of the menu item bar and a bit of the desktop with a few icons.
When the screen gets darker I have invoked the screenshot mode via the keyboard shortcut. The mouse pointer is not shown, but you can see that the menu item bar is overlayed with a menu bar at one point.
