Yesterday when I capture a window, the selected area is bright and the rest of the page is dark. Yesterday, that light pattern remains after the image capture, requiring a reboot to fix. Anyone know a work-around?






After using Cmd Shift 5 to capture a selected area of the screen, the changed lighting remains after the image is captured - see below. Is there a way to fix this short of a reboot? I haven't updated anything in the last week. This is really distracting.
