Ghost image of Screenshot app area remains after being closed

After taking a screenshot and closing the app, the highlighted area remains. Even if I re-open the screenshot app and change the area size the original ghost image remains. There does not seem to be a way to force quit the Screenshot app. I'm on Ventura 13.0.1.

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


5 - Current version of Ventura is 13.1 and brings some Bug and Security Fixes

Wait. I’ll have to test this but are thinking I accidentally started a screen recording and then took screenshots while the recording was going on? I’m not sure if that’s possible or how I wouldn’t have noticed it but maybe. Weird the that I couldn’t force quit if that was the case though. The screenshot app didn’t appear in the force quit list.
