When using ViewCaptureToFile with Scale>1, I am getting artifacts in the resulting PNG or JPG images. This manifests in a shaded box, typically in the lower-left corner of the images, that has the dimensions of the un-scaled image.
You’re right. I can’t reproduce the effect with Scale=1.1. The screenshot was taken with Scale=2.0, which I forgot to mention in my post. Apologies for that.

I’ve uninstalled the UMI plug-in, disabled Clipper and PanelingTools. Could not reproduce the artifacts. So all good.
Even with re-enabling Clipper and PT, I was unable to get the artifact again. UMI is gone for good – I only played around with it recently, but couldn’t get it to work. None of my colleagues had UMI installed on their systems (only Clipper and PT), but were able to re-create the observed artifact.
To make matters even more complicated: it only shows up in some views, but not others. I am not sure how to progress from here. Obviously, you guys need to be able to trigger this ‘bug’ (if this is indeed what we are looking at), but I can’t find a surefire way of triggering it.
