Thanks for bringing up a pre2, the number of fixes was long ...

As expected from the Roadmap, the console warning about samr.nt_password 
is still not fixed ...

I get the feeling we might even need a pre3, given the number of new 
fixes still rushing in :-(

Unfortunately, "Autoscroll in Live Capture" doesn't seem to work any 
longer. I don't know how long ago this bug was introduced.

I've been noticing problems with auto-scrolling in the Emacs editor's
compilation buffer for a a couple of months now.  My Emacs (v22.1.1) is
linked against GTK 2.10.13.  My main copy of Wireshark is linked against
2.12.1 and seems ok right now.  Both are running on OS X's Unix backend. 
I do recall some problems auto-scrolling in Wireshark, but it was
usually temporary and I didn't think much of it.  Hmm... what version is
the Windows build linking against now?  I'll keep an eye out for
Wireshark misbehaving to see if the (probable) GTK bug is still there in
2.12.1.

I think autoscroll behavior was changed (augmented?).

My observation is that auto-scrolling now stops if you scroll UP in the 
packet summary pane.  You can restore auto-scrolling by simply scrolling 
to the bottom-most (i.e. most recent) item of the summary pane.

You can also click on the "Go to first packet" and "Go to the last packet"
toolbar buttons to accomplish same.

Best regards,

Jim Young

Ah, at least that explains what happens.

Well, I think at least the following is unintuitive:

I've steadily get packets rushing in.

- If I switch off scrolling (by using the toolbar - which is the obvious 
way to do that?) to have a look at some packets and then turn scrolling 
back on - scrolling won't start again as the scrollbar is not "down" - 
this is a bug now IMHO
- If I select a packet in the packet list, I would expect the autoscroll 
to stop - this should be enhanced

So two questions:

- should the autoscroll mode be disabled (e.g. displayed by the toolbar 
icon) when scrolling is disabled? Having both a "visible" criteria 
(autoscroll icon) and an "invisible" (position of scrollbar) sounds not 
very intuitive to me - but I may be wrong here
- should "go to last packet" turn the autoscroll mode back on automatically?

This was added by one of the guys here at CACE, and checked in in r22277. It's
intended to let you go back and look at any interesting traffic that might be
flying past during a live capture by simply grabbing the scroll bar. Modern
terminal programs have this behavior, e.g. when PuTTY's "Reset scrollback on
display activity" option is disabled.

How is the scrollbar position "invisible"? If you're at the bottom, then
autoscroll is enabled. If you're not, then autoscroll is disabled. At any rate,
the toolbar icon should reflect the autoscroll state. We'll work on a fix.

Re: Wireshark 0.99.7pre2 is now available

Personally, I really like the way autoscroll works now.  But Ulf makes a
good suggestion in that it may also be nice to stop the autoscroll if
you click on a packet of interest.   Then resume the same way as now.
