Delay between pressing PrtSc and Greenshot activating
Description
When I press the Print Screen button nothing happens for about a minute. If I right click the Greenshot tray icon, the context menu comes up, but is unresponsive so I can't click on any of the items. After about a minute the cross-hairs finally come up and I can specify the region to capture. After getting the delay and then taking a screenshot, subsequent presses of Print Screen work nice and fast as expected; it's just slow when doing it the first time. Maybe it's doing some sort of initialization work the first time that it is accessed, or lazy loading some assemblies? Also, I do have Greenshot set to launch at startup.
I experienced this issue in version 1.2.10.6, but not in 1.3.270.

See: Version 1.2.8.12 solves the issue, when Sourceforge isn't having issues again you can download it via our website: http://getgreenshot.org

Also, I have a fairly beefy laptop (Lenovo W541) with 8-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a GPU, so low hardware specs should not be the problem. Also, I restart my computer daily, so it may be that the problem happens after every restart.
