Bug #1: Disappearing Capture Stats Dialog
Severity: High
Effect: Ethereal cannot be quit except via the Task Manager -> End
Process method
Steps to Reproduce:
- <ctrl-k> to get the Capture Options dialog
- click the minimise button *on the main window*, not the dialog box
- notice the Ethereal main window minimises but the Capture Options
dialog does not
- click Ok
- notice capture starts, but there is no Capture Stats dialog, which
also means there's no Stop Capture button
Notes:
Nothing I can do will bring up the Capture Stats dialog, and thus
Ethereal is in an infinite loop. <alt-tab> still only shows one
Ethereal icon, the main window. Selecting it gives it the focus, but
it stays minimised. Right-clicking on it in the task bar and selecting
either Restore or Maximise will cause the main window to display, but
all the buttons/menus are inactive, and there is still no Capture
Stats dialog.
Only using the time-honoured <ctrl-alt-del> -> End Process method can
I get Ethereal to quit.
Seems to be GTK2 related, does not happen with GTK1.
This was a result when a dialog box was shown while the program is
minimized (e.g. "No packets captured"), this seems to be a bug in the
GTK lib.
As a first bugfix I've checked in a change into latest CVS to simply
discard the message completely in that case.
When I will find a way to get an event from GTK when the window is made
visible by the user again, I will queue up the message and show it at
that point in time.
