TextExtractor

Steps to reproduce

I have two external monitors set to 2560x1440 at 100% scale, while my laptop screen is set to 3840x2400 at 225% scale. The laptop screen is the primary monitor. In this setup, try initiating Text Extractor.

✔️ Expected Behavior

It should take resolution and DPI into account for each monitor, allowing me to capture any part of the screen.

❌ Actual Behavior

I get a small selection square on the external monitors while the whole laptop screen is included in the selection square. It also makes everything bigger on the external monitors, probably matching the 225% zoom of the laptop screen.
