Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

When a test step fails and a screenshot is captured, it seems to always be of the primary display even if the AUT window is located on a different display.

Consequently the screenshot may not always include the AUT if the environment has multiple displays.

This should not normally be a problem except in the case where the purpose of the testing is to address issues in the AUT involving multiple displays.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With an AUT already running on a multi-monitor desktop, drag the main AUT window to a different display.
2. Start Test Execution (with a Test Suite that includes at least one failed test).
3. Observe Test Execution appears to behave the same regardless of which display contains the AUT, however the failure screenshot displayed in the Image View is of the primary desktop, not the one containing the AUT.

Although it is not explicitly documented at the moment (I'll make sure it gets done today), Jubula does not support screenshots on multi monitors. This is partially because the demand just hasn't been there, and also because an implementation for various toolkits / platforms would not be trivial. For the same reasons, it's not something that we are planning on implementing any time in the foreseeable future. 

From our perspective, I'm going to put this to "wontfix". If anyone wants to submit a patch for the function, we would be interested in including and maintaining it.
