MITK Symbol all over 3D Screenshot

Dear MITK Team,

I am using MITK v. 2023-11-13 on Mac OS 13.6.6 (Ventura).
When I want to use the Screenshot Maker inside MITK I get MITK Symbols all over the Screenshot.
Would it be possible to only have the MITK Symbol on the lower left corner like it is in the 3D View?

Thanks.

bug: always-build-MitkTestingHelper-module

The MitkTestingHelper currently is only build if BUILD_TESTING is ON and if MITK_USE_CppUnit is set to 1 which is the case if BUILD_TESTING is ON or MITK_USE_BLUEBERRY is ON.

However, the MitkTestingHelper should also build if BUILD_TESTING is OFF because it is potentially useful for external projects.

I am experiencing an issue when building MITK with the extension directory MITK-Diffusion. Specifically, I encounter a problem with MitkTestingHelper being missing.

I have selected the BUILD_TESTING option, but after clicking configure, this option gets deselected automatically. I am unsure how to proceed with building MitkTestingHelper.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your assistance.
