Hi..

This is a bit of a silly time to mention it, but I just upgraded to 0.10.6 to avoid a crash loading a capture.  It fixed that.  :-)

However, now when I'm hopping from frame to frame looking at SMB traffic, the frame detail view window keeps resetting its scroll position to the top of the packet.  In 0.10.4 the position was remembered, which is an enormous help when you are trying to compare values that don't show up without scrolling.

Then I took a look at the preferences, hoping something there might do the trick.  The UI "packet list selection" and "protocol tree selection" items both looked possible, but when I changed them and clicked Apply, I got an error popup indicating that I didn't select a font.  No I didn't -- never even visited that dialog page!  Seems like there should be some default there, as indeed the program presents perfectly acceptable output as-is.  Without altering the font config (which I'm loath to do, as I don't know what the present default settings are) it seems that I can't change any other preferences.

Not sure if these are still issues in the pre-0.10.7, I don't see a post-0.10.6 binary package for win32.

regards,
Eric
