Strange error

So, recently every time I hit F9 to take a screenshot, my entire screen goes black. There's nothing else to it. Even if I drag the box around where the ship would be, it still comes out a black image. The black goes away as soon as the screenshot mode ends.

-Yes, I have re-downloaded shipmaker.
-Yes, It does do this in every single build of shipmaker.
-Yes, I build in windowed mode.
-No, this does not happen when in the actual game for each version.

I have no idea what to do, and using print-screen to take screenshots is a pain in the ass, any ideas?

Did you update/change/delete anything potentially important prior to the problem?

Not that I recall. But it doesn't matter as I've redownloaded and migrated my entire custom sprites folder over.

Use a different direction on taking screenies
(example, once you do it from top right, now do it from top left of your ship etc.)

Maybe this will help.

If I read correctly, F9 makes his screen black so that's not really going to work then.
