Why do I think anyone's happy about this?
Because I'm the only one who's said anything about it...
And we all know how vocal people can be about the limitations of the
software. I will be happy to post all the setting I have on my home work
station when I get back to SA. And if that helps someone avoid this problem
then great.
You've never seen any card not do this? Well I'm the exact opposite... my
experience has been that for the most part this doesn't happen. That's why I
posted the question. Not to bitch about a limitation but to find out if
anyone else had the same problem. If I had know that I was being
unreasonable (which by the sounds of things I am) I wouldn't have asked.
Thanks for your time,
m(at)

I've never seen any card that doesn't grab whatever's laid over the capture
area, and I have worked on quite a few machines over the years, so if you
have one that doesn't I'd say it's very much the exception to the rule.
Why would you think anyone's happy with this? Although I don't see it as a
bug, more a limitation. Given that you're asking it to capture pretty much
anything in any given viewport then the only way you can capture is to grab
a screen area because where else is the drawn image held?
