Hint correct, some confusion over wording.
Authored by: gabester on Jul 06, '06 09:21:08AM

I think we're getting into semantic arguments over this...

When any window is completely visible on screen in Mac OS X, command-shift-4 followed by the spacebar bring up the camera element mode; you can then move the mouse/camera over the desired area you want to screenshot and the window's entire area will be captured. However, only the currently visible contents of that window will be in the screenshot; this hint does not intend to suggest otherwise - it merely is pointing out that you can capture a screenshot of a window that is larger than your screen in the same fashion as any window fully visible on your screen.

By having a window larger than your screen, however, you do not suddenly gain the ability to magically screenshot the entire contents of that window when you execute this hint, merely what would be the visible area of the contents of that window were your screen large enough to accommodate it.

<phew> I think I got that right.
