Description
Extension
https://www.raycast.com/fernando_barrios/shottr
Raycast Version
1.104.23
OS Version
macOS 26.5.2
Description
"Capture Window" stopped targeting the active window a few weeks ago — Raycast's version now captures the full desktop instead. Shottr's own shortcut (Cmd+Shift+3) still captures the active window correctly, which points at how the Raycast extension resolves the "active window" when the hotkey fires — possibly a stale/background window reference instead of current focus.
Steps To Reproduce
Focus any app window
Trigger "Capture Window" via Raycast hotkey
Preview shows full desktop, not the focused app
Compare: Shottr's native Cmd+Shift+3 captures the active window correctly
Current Behaviour
captures full desktop
Expected Behaviour
captures active/focused window, matching native Shottr behavior

Research direction
Start from the Shottr extension linked in the issue and reproduce the Capture Window command while another app is focused. Trace how the extension resolves the active window when its Raycast hotkey fires; done means the preview captures only the focused window, matching Shottr's native Cmd+Shift+3 behavior.
