and this problem has occurred for multiple times weekly since getting a new external monitor to my laptop , so i wanted to determine if logging firefox while usually surfing would make any difference and give me a good cause :

i can take a guess that at the moment of taking a screenshot using Spectacle , these subsequent channel errors were the result.
