Screenshot issue on Ventura - seeing a greyed out box around my screen

After taking a screenshot the focus window won't go away, leaving a greyed-out screen outside of the window I took the screenshot of. How do I fix this?

Hello Bleediadamo,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're seeing a grey box on your screen when you took a screenshot. We'd like to help!


What happened if you restart your Mac? Does the box around the screen disappear?

Shut down or restart your Mac


Let's also try safe mode to see if the same issue continues.

Start up your Mac in safe mode
