While working with a large capture, I noticed that when I adjust column
widths in the packet list, Ethereal selects the top packet visible in
list, forgetting the one I've currently got selected. For example, I
currently have packets 32066 through 32078 visible in my window, with
32070 selected. When I adjust the relative widths of the Time and Source
columns, Ethereal selects 32066.

This behavior is unexpected and confusing. I'd normally expect the
program to keep my current selection.

I checked this and this still happens with current Wireshark 0.99.6.
