Summary: Capture Mode "Window Under Cursor" results in
different screenshot than "Active Window"

Screenshot in active Window mode
SUMMARY
In general, these two capture modes confuse me as it's not 100% clear to me
what they do. From the name, they should differ only on how they select the
Window. "Active Window" screenshots the active Window and "Window under Cursor"
screenshots the window under the cursor (under = x or z value?). So in my
understanding if both options screenshot the same application, the screenshot
should look the same. This is not the case for applications with a transparent
background. Furthermore the "Capture the current-popup only" is disabled in the
"Active Window" mode.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Screenshot an application with a tranparent/semi-transparent background in
both modes
1. Observe the "Capture the current-popup only" checkbox in both modes selected
OBSERVED RESULT
As can be seen from the screenshot "Window under cursor" results in a
screenshot, where my background is still transparent while with "Active Window"
the background is not transparent anymore.
"Capture the current-popup only" checkbox is disabled in the "Active Window"
Mode
EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot should look the same in both modes. If the background of the
application should be transparent or not should be determined by a checkbox.
I see no specific reason though why it shouldn't be available for "Active
Window" capture mode.
