Bug with camera tool in AS2.5

[gec]

When using the camera tool I usually have the 'include toolbars' setting turned off. This takes a photo of the screen minus the toolbars (obviously). I've noticed that under AS2.5 when taking a snapshot of a flipchart, a blue rectangle with 'Area' in it stays visible and is photographed wherever the camera button is.

I'm not getting this on three different installations. Anybody else?:confused:

JPG Screenshot attached. It's not my imagination. The toolbox goes but not the blue 'Area' rectangle that you click on.

Weird! :eek: Let's hope someone from Promethean has the solution.

Hi GEC,

You are not the only one with this bug - It happens to me too!

I've just realised how daft I was. That was a screenshot of the bottom RIGHT hand corner. Thanks to all for not pointing that out to me!
Glad (in a way) that I'm not the only one. It's so much better to share I find!

This is a tooltip bug and has been identified to be fixed for the next maintenance release along in a few weeks.

In the meantime the workaround is to choose the Camera tool/Area when the toolbox is far away from the area you wish to snapshot!

There is a way to stop this from happening..

go into display settings - Appearance - Effects.
Change the transition effect for menus & tooltips.

This is only a problem when this is set to fade effect, so change it to something else & this will stop it happening until we can find a fix for it - which is proving elusive at the moment & isn't in the next release.
