Hi Jonathon,

I don't understand or can't replicate the problem you describe.
I do View->Capture->Movie
Under What to capture I select Full Window
I capture a few images one at a time. The images I capture are indeed the full 
window.
This also works for "View" and "View and Legend"

Am I doing something wrong?
