[Elecraft] P3 capture bug?

[N2ZDB at aol.com]

Alan,
 
I just loaded the P3 Utility on my Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.   When 
doing a capture using the utility the capture is shown split in two with  the 
reference numbers in the middle! The bottom portion of the capture/ screen  
is also corrupted.  
 
Is this part of the same bug or a different one?
 
Also any idea when this will be fixed?
 
Will the capture ever be available at a larger resolution (like in  HD)?
 
Thank you and Happy Holidays!,
 
73's Michael

Sam,

I confirmed the bug, thanks.  I'll add it to the  bug list.  Meanwhile,
the work-around is to un-freeze the display as  soon as the image is
uploaded.

73,
