VOCR – problem with window recognition

Hello,
Do you know why, when I want to start VOCR screen recognition in Safari using the shortcut (CMD+CTRL+Shift+A), before the window with the option to type instructions appears, I additionally have to select the window I want to recognize?

Besides the name of my actual window, there is something like:
"Select a window to scan."
"Untitled1701799480 default button"

It wouldn’t bother me too much, however when VOCR recognizes the screen, instead of only my browser it also captures its own window with that message.
It looks as if two such windows appear and one is recognizing the other.

Do you know what I might have set incorrectly and how to fix this problem?
