Screenshot now only copying part of the page

About a month ago, I had no issues taking a screenshot of what's displayed or entire page. Now, whenever I take a screenshot, it copies only 3/5's of the page (from the left margin to roughly 3/5ths of the page both displayed or entire). My settings in about:config have not been changed (well, they are changed but at the same settings as when 'Take Screenshot' worked and now only copying 3/5ths of the page).

I looked some more and then at about:config dealing with 'screenshot'. Only one item was not default and I did not alter. The line: screenshots.browser.component.... was not enabled. I enabled it and am now back to grabbing the entire page. The pop-up message is not the same theme (?....it looks different than what I remember it looking like), but the end result is that right click> 'Take Screenshot': is a function that works and causing aggravation whenever I want to document something and am not able to do so without resorting to multiple O.S. screenshots.
