Hi,
  Just a minor bug. When setting tcp.analyze_sequence_numbers: FALSE,
  tcp.relative_sequence_numbers remains TRUE which is the default, even
  though the help message states:

  # Make the TCP dissector use relative sequence numbers instead of
  # absolute ones. To use this option you must also enable "Analyze TCP
  # sequence numbers". This option will also try to track and adjust the
  # window field according to any TCP window scaling options seen.
  # TRUE or FALSE (case-insensitive).
  tcp.relative_sequence_numbers: TRUE

  Which implies that in order for relative_sequence_numbers to have any
  effect analyze_sequence_numbers must be set TRUE.

  This causes confusion in the GUI, since absolute sequence numbers are
  shown, but the string "(relative sequence number)" is still present
  (due to the relative_sequence_numbers option still being true).
  
  Michael.
