FWIW, I've never been able to get this to work. I've tried Custom
Scroll, and, as you have experienced, I only get part of what I am
trying to capture. And, it seems inconsistent as to which part I get.
I've always figured I am missing something (likely obvious), but I
eventually give up and come up with some other plan :)
