Hi,  
I met a problem when using file --\> save screenshot.  
Everything looks perfect when I about to save my image:

But actually it comes out like this, the middle part somehow being erased

I had tired all the format(jpeg, tiff, bmp, png), they all look like this, any help?  
Thanks

This is indeed a [bug](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17308) in previous versions of ParaView when saving screenshots at a size larger than the current widget. It has been fixed for ParaView 5.7.

By the way, 5.7 should be out in the early June timeframe.
