I have verified identical behaviour on Server 2003 SP1. I am convinced that this affects Windows XP too but do not have facilities to re-test at present. To reproduce: Capture some TCP traffic and select the desired frame for the stream to graph then choose:- Menu/Statistics/TCP stream graph/Time-sequene graph (tcptrace) The Graphs can be moved independently however if for example:- I have a Main window, Graph window and Graph Control window open and I minimise the any window all three windows are minimised. On top of this (pun intended) the Graph and Graph control windows are Always-on-top of the main window. The old behaviour is to create a minimal sized window at the bottom left of the screen when any individual graph window is minimised. This is not 'normal standard' MS Windows behaviour but it is substantially preferable to the present behaviour. All three versions discussed have Graph windows Always-on-top. It is the combination that is SO VERY undesirable. To me this is very poor behaviour and to workaround it seems necessary to slide the graph windows to the side such that a small piece of the graph window remains visible. It is bad enough with just one graph up at a time but it will be very difficult indeed to work with additional graphs. This is a fairly recently introduced behaviour, Ethereal 0.10.4, and Ethereal 0.99.0 were not so afflicted. I have re-tested this today on Vista. Can we please have the old one back? - or something even better. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
