Description

I have an external monitor (1280x1024) attached to my laptop (1440x900). With xfce4-settings-editor, I set the position (X, Y) of each display as the following:

            |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
            |             |
   Unused   |      2      |
            |_____________|
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|           |
|     1     |    Unused
|           |
|___________|

The monitor 1 (external) is set to (0, 900) and the monitor 2 (laptop) is set to (1280, 0).

When I choose the region "Entire screen", xfce4-screenshooter takes a screenshot of all regions (both minotors and both unused spaces).

I would expect to have a screenshot only of the current active monitor.
