Hi List!

I'm just wondering, if theres a reason why the Display Filter dialog is acting differently, when called from menu or from statusbar button:

From "Analyze->Display Filter" menu: Titled: "Ethereal: Edit Display Filter List" with *no* OK and Apply buttons. From statusbar "Filter:" button: Titled: "Ethereal: Display Filter" with OK and Apply buttons.

Although the dialog is similar, both dialogs can be opened simultaneously.

I think the behaviour should be identical, regardless from where it was initiated, acting like the statusbar one.
And only one display filter dialog can be open at any time.

Any comments (I think Guy questioned the same thing some time ago)?

Regards, ULFL

P.S: this doesn't affect the capture filter and color rule dialog!
