Set the Continuous Extract option

If you want to capture a rectangular block of text, then set the Continuous Extract option to false (this is the default value). For more information, see Capturing a rectangular area of the host terminal.

In contrast, if you want to capture a continuous sequence of text that wraps from line to line, then set the Continuous Extract option to true. For more information, see Capturing a sequence of text from the host terminal .
