can't stop recording when choosing custom recording area

[ITwrx]

i have dual monitors and if i leave the recording area settings as default, the green-recorder icon is in gnome system tray so i can open green recorder gui back up to stop recording. unfortunately, if i choose my own record area, the system tray icon is not present even though green-recorder is still recording, as indicated by the red record icon in gnome volume control area(top right).
thanks

I have the same problem (Ubuntu 17.10, default Gnome). The system tray icon doesn't show up if I set a recording area and when starting to record the app vanishes. Had to manually kill the process and delete the temporary file.
