Annoying pop-up text window appears when trying to take screen grabs

How do I prevent this "open full size image" text box pop up appearing when taking a screen grab? (The text is different is different situations).

Thanks for the reply.
I'm using Press Shift-Command-4, then moving the crosshair pointer to where I want to start the screenshot. That's when that pops up.

Could you indicate the exact location of the option to turn the text off? I can't see anything that relates to that.

Thanks


hmmm... seems odd; you do not say if this is an old issue, a new issue, or what changed(?)



If this was a trackpad I would recommend looking at your Trackpad settings...and make some changes

and see if this effects the mouse over




There may well be something similar for Mouse settings(?)


The alternative is simply use Shift Command 3 for the screen shot and crop it down
