Hello all,

(I'm new to this list so I only scanned post that are not so old
before sending this problem, so I apologize if this problem has
already been mentionned)

We use Ethereal at work on Windows 2000 and recently when I installed
0.10.0 (and even with 0.10.2 today) I've experienced problems
with horizontal scrolling on TCP captures.
In the TCP conversation I'm looking at these days, there are SACK and
TCP Timestamps options. So this makes the Info field quite long
"LE=... RE=... TSval=... TSecr=..." etc.

With 0.9.16 still on Windows, the horizontal scrolling adapted itself
to the longest Info field in the capture. 

Now as of 0.10.x it seems one cannot scroll to see the end of all Info fields.
Of course the parsing in the packet/protocol analysis windows is OK,
but it's very useful to scroll to the right end of the capture window
to have a quick look at what TCP options are present in the segments.

I hope my desription is not to confusing and comprehensible.

If it is of any help my screen is 1024x758.

Shame, it is the only reason so far for me to go back to 0.9.16...

Attached is a capture file that has the problem on my computer at work.

Thanks for your help,
Paul
