If I use Ctrl-Shift-A to capture the active window, I always get a border on three sides of the window, which is a view of whatever is behind the window. The Windows Alt-PrtScr combination doesn't do that. (Compare left and right images, attached.)
I suspect that this has something to do with how Windows 10 defines a window border, but it's annoying. Is there any way to grab just the active window and not that border using Capture?

Re: Border when capturing the active window
This is an old post, but did you find the answer? I think this is a downside of active window capture, could well be a bug or maybe poor design. As a workaround, you can use Ctrl+Shift+W, and then indicate the window that you want to capture. Capture grabs just the window without the drop shadow border.
