What do you mean the app was modified, modified to what, by what, for what reason.

Have you tried starting your mac up in Safe Mode,

Safe Mode takes a long time to start up so be patient.

Try screenshots in Safe Mode, see if it works there then restart your mac normally.

CMD-SHT-5 was working fine several weeks ago. It allowed me to move the capture section around with the cursor turning into a hand. It also allowed me to grab the middle top and make the area smaller top to bottom. I could also grab the side and make the area thinner. Then I push the capture selection at the bottom of the screen.

Now none of that works. I have to use CMD-SHT-4 and use the cross-hairs. I really liked CMD-SHT-5. Hopefully, it will come back soon.
