Hi,
I'd like to report a minor bug in Ethereal 0.8.20.
Bug Description:
The protocol summary pop-up window that contains the list of
protocols and the number of captured packets for each protocol
becomes unresponsive (doesn't close itself nor redraw its contents)
when "Capture|Stop" is chosen from the *Main* Window. It closes only
after some more packets are received from the network.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1) Start Ethereal without any command line arguments
2) Start Capture by choosing Capture|Start in the main window.
Choose interface: lo
Choose "Update list of packets in real time"
3) Stop Capture by choosing Capture|Stop in the main window.
=> Now the protocol summary window becomes inresponsive and won't close
itself until some more traffic is generated on the interface.
4) Generate some traffic on the lo interface.
=> Now the window closes itself.
Other notes:
- The bug only occurs when using the lo interface
