Flameshot Version

Flameshot v13.1.0 (79395fd)
Compiled with Qt 6.8.1

Installation Type

Using the ready-made package from Github Releases

Operating System type and version

Windows 11 Version: 10.0.26100 (winnt)

Description

When I take a screenshot with Flameshot, the entire screen shrinks (as if it gets scaled down), which did not happen in previous versions. This makes it harder to capture content precisely.

This issue started appearing only after updating to v13.1.0. In earlier versions (v12.1.0), taking a screenshot did not affect the screen scaling.

Steps to reproduce

Open Flameshot on Windows 11.

Press the shortcut to take a screenshot.

Observe how the entire screen shrinks temporarily when the screenshot tool appears.
