I cannot open any capture file from inside wireshark using the File ->
Open ... dialog. The 'Open' button stays greyd out.

If I save a capture to a filename, then, I can open that filename using
File -> 'Open recent'. So the problem is not with opening files, but more
with the Open dialog.

--

I don't experience such a problem; the Open button turns sensitive
when a capture file is selected.  But I see there is a problem when
the file name is entered in the Location text entry, the Open button
doesn't get sensitive that way.

--

As a quick patch I removed the following line (342) from
gtk/capture_file_dlg.c:
gtk_dialog_set_response_sensitive(file_sel, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, have_preview);

The problem is the selection-changed signal seems not to be fired when the
location bar is used.
