If it matters, I sort of like that functionality.

It makes deleting sections of the image easy -- like blanking out
names, email addresses, and other bits. The dragging of bitmap
clippings to the desktop is really fun to use, especially as
Screenshot does not have the ability to allow one to drag a selection
area before taking the screen capture. For it's power -- I actually
used ShowImage to blank out the "Get-Haiku" website graphic.
