#147 Capture2Text Capture Box & Preview stop displaying after running for extended periods.

[Kanji Eater]

I start capture to text with windows 10 Pro and always have it running. I keep this computer on for long periods of time, and after about a day of running in the background C2T stops functioning. I can access the menu, but when i use the Start OCR Capture hotkey, it does not show the default blue box; it doesn't show anything. It's still working, I just can't see what I'm highlighting, as the show Preview box (that I usually don't use) will show contents captured.

I'm using the default transparent blue box and the dynamic top left preview, and I use the setting to automatically capture to clipboard. Are there any other logs I can provide to be useful?

Same scenario here. Let me know if I can help with a log file of sorts.

I have the same problem.

@cb4960 Sorry to bug you on this again, but is there any way we can move this forward? Hate to see such a critical issue to a great program affect this many people. Any steps you could recommend to move this forward?

I agree it would be great to have this fixed. Using this app daily and am
sure this bug is also preventing others newly installing from continuing to
use the app as they may think it doesn't work if the transparent blue box
doesn't appear.
