Windows 10: Snipping Tool video UI covers screen and disallows clicking

The UI for video capture covers the video capture area which makes it impossible to see behind it and disables the ability to click items underneath it. The area where you can not click also extends past this UI which is super frustrating. We need the ability to move this UI prior to and during recording. The UI should also be movable to another screen.How did this get released in this state? I assume a big use of this tech is for creating short how to videos. Most program UI is situated in the same spot as the video capture UI. This is terrible.

Snipping Tool

When you click on the 'New' icon in Snipping Tool, your entire screen should be covered with a gray overlay. The purpose is to clearly show what you are snipping. Is this what you are referring to?
