Comment:
As you found out, any unrelated application that you run on your computer
may leak your IP address. Undoubtedly, SnagIt got the IP address from the
system (actually, it looks like SnagIt used the IE engine underneath).
This same problem applies to plugins, etc.; see
https://people.torproject.org/~andrew/website-
stage/docs/faq.html.en#TBBFlash for example. Closing this ticket.
