Bug: screenshot cuts off the top of the page due to CSS positioning

Open paaljoachim opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hey

I am over and over again experiencing this:

network-admin-sites-add-new

network-admin-sites-all-sites-site-property

In the backend of a WordPress site. Clicking the icon to take a screenshot it moves the top bar down covering the top of the page. Making all the screenshots I use useless....

Does this still happen with the latest release? :)

Hey

I just reinstalled your extension to check it out. Here is the result of taking a screenshot of the backend of WordPress.

I can not use the Blipshot extension because of the result it gives.

Ok, thank you. I've been able to reproduce the issue. And I looked a bit into it.

Unfortunately it's related to the way the CSS of that page is built (has a margin on the html tag itself...)... it's an unfortunate side effect of how Google Chrome allows the screenshot capability to run. The current way Blipshot tries to address these issues is by using the blanketStyleSet.js script, which tries to reset all absolutely-positioned elements on the page... but it's a workaround until Chrome implements a different way to take screenshots.

But maybe there's something I can work-around there. I'll look into it tho. Thanks. :)
