On what platform are you doing this?

If I go to Statistics | TCP Stream Graph | Round Trip Time, then I get a diagram of Round Trip Time over Sequence Number.
Maybe click the ‘Reset’ button to clear up the display?

Go to Preferences | Columns. There click ‘+’ to add a new columns, select type Custom and set Field to tcp.analysis.ack_rtt
Another way is to select the RTT item in the SEQ/ACK analysis item of the TCP protocol dissection and simply use ‘Apply as Column.

It is strange for me. because it is running locally so there is not any congestion between sender and receiver so why there are some large RTT?

This could have to do with the specifics of your platform (process scheduling, etc).

Seems that if the window is closed the response takes its time?
