captureOffscreenArea does not capture off-screen areas?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

For display.capture the option table has an argument called captureOffscreenArea which describes 

If true, the entire object/group is captured, even parts which are not visible on screen. If omitted, the capture will be constrained to the screen bounds

Now why is it that it will only save up to the screen’s boundry?

example

local widget = require "widget" local offScreenArea = display.newGroup() function addBox(y) local box = display.newRect(offScreenArea,0,0,display.contentWidth,100) box:setFillColor(math.random(),math.random(),math.random()) box.y = y box.x = display.contentWidth/2 end for i = 1,30 do addBox(i\*100) end timer.performWithDelay(2000,function(event) display.capture(offScreenArea,{ saveToPhotoLibrary = true, captureOffscreenArea = true }) end)

What version of Corona SDK are you using?

We’ve recently fixed a bug in 2928 that could fix this for you.

I have updated it to 2928 and it works. Thanks!

#6

Is it possible the problem still exists in build 2992?

I can’t get the screen areas on bigger devices. What am I missing here?

#7

It might help to see some screen shots.
