Imported graphics in Frame 6 Dithering Oddly

I have several screen captures that are saved as GIFs and imported by reference into my Frame document. When Frame displays or prints them, there's a funky dithered checkerboard pattern in all of the scroll bars in the screen captures. When I view the gif in a browser or Windows Paint (I don't have Photoshop on this machine...), there's no sign of the checkerboard pattern, it looks just like it should.  

Any ideas what it is that Frame doesn't like about these GIF files and how to produce GIF files that doesn't cause Frame to get creative when it renders them?  

I'm using a utility called Hypersnap-DX Pro to grab & crop the screens. The only thing I can figure is that it's generating funky GIF files. Perhaps the solution is to open the files up in Photoshop and do a "save-as" to rewrite the files... 

Other suggestions are welcome...
