I take a lot of screen snips using Snipping Tool.
I have the Snipping Tool's "Multiple Windows" setting enabled so that each click of New creates a new Snipping Tool "window".
I'm not sure when this started but I've only noticed it on Windows 11 and only with Snipping Tool.
My snipping tool "windows" are creeping up toward the top of the screen and eventually, the menu bar is off the screen.
Since the menu bar is off screen, I cannot click "New" or "Save", etc, and the ability to easily grab and move the "window" is also off screen.
Alt+Tab allows me to switch between the open "windows" but that doesn't help me with the menu bar being off-screen.
Since Cascading appears to be gone, my only choice is to Shift+RightClick > Move each instance which takes a lot of time when I have a lot of instances open.
To get it to temporarily stop, I have to close all instances of Snipping Tool, open a single copy, Move it to the middle of the screen, and close it to "reset" the "default" open position for Snipping Tool. I do not like having the default open location in the middle or lower screen because I then have to move the snips up to see them... and closing the snips towards the top of the screen resets the open location... and eventually, it creeps up and off the screen again.
Also, I cannot seem to force it / replicate it, but it happens frequently for me over time to the point of annoyance.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there still a cascade feature hidden in Windows 11 somewhere?
Is there some alternate setting or other feature that might be helpful here?
Thanks!
