Allow capture of everything on the page, not just within the viewport about full-page-screen-capture-chrome-extension

[mrcoles]

Thanks for posting an issue, however, can you clarify what you mean? The extension captures everything inside the viewport that's visible via scrolling, i.e., an entire page.

If you mean it should include the browser with its buttons and address bar, I don't think that's possible with the extension API.

Or maybe you're referring to something else?

Ah - it looks like I've found a bug then. It seems to work great on pages with lots of scrolling content, but for some reason it doesn't work on this site in particular.

Hit 'view more' a few times and see the page expand, then try taking a screenshot - it only seems to capture the top viewport.

I am also having this problem. The extension used to capture the entire page but now it is only capturing what is visible without scrolling - so the same as taking a regular screenshot. I relied on this extension to be able to capture the entire length of the page in one screenshot.

@NotBobTheBuilder I just went to your URL and ran the extension. It captured the full page fine. At some point it will break if the page becomes too large, but I just successfully took a screenshot that was 15,000 pixels tall. Are you still having this issue? If so, can you share the exact URL and also your computer’s operating system and version of Chrome?

@ajacobs21e there are some pages that do weird things with scroll bars (such as gmail), but the majority of the pages on the internet use regular browser scroll bars. Can you share what site you’re trying to do the screenshot on?

@mrcoles The page I linked to seems to have been updated since I linked it. Not sure what it did before that broke it, so I can't help reproduce unfortunately!

@mrcoles I'm connecting to a vm I'm hosting locally. I didn't have issues capturing the full page before about 2 weeks ago.

@ajacobs21e is the page hosted anywhere public? Is your vm Ubuntu or some other Linux distribution? If you're a web developer, can you see if anything weird with overflow is being applied to the body tag? I had one person write in who was having issues with a share point site that had issues for that reason. I unfortunately don't really have anything to go on with the existing info.

@mrcoles It's Linux. There's a public version but it's a few revs behind what I'm working on. That one works fine. If you want to check it out I can send you the link and walk you through how to get to a long page. [email protected]
I'm not a developer - I looked at the body tag and I see overflow: visible;.

If there’s a public link, feel free to repost. Thx.
