Hi Stuart,
Thanks for providing us feedback on usability and bugs! Here's my comment on
some bugs you reported.
<snip>
|I am reporting the following bugs for the first time in 0.10.4:
|
|
|Bug #7: Graphical Corruption
|Severity: Low
|Effect: Occassionally the pane has graphical artifacts left lying
| around. An annoyance, but has a workaround.
|Steps to Reproduce:
|- grab a pane divider bar and wiggle it around some
|- notice that the packet list and/or the pane divider itself leaves
| uncleared remenants. See attached screen shot.
|Notes:
|I haven't seen this before, and regularly resize the panes, so it is
|likely new to 0.10.4.
I fear this has to do with the GTK+ libraries; all GTK2 builds suffer from
this bug. Maybe it has to do with incomplete support for accelerated
graphics.
|Bug #8: Pane Layout Preference Not Saved
|Severity: Medium
|Effect: You always have to apply your pane layout preference when you
| start Ethereal. A large annoyance, but has a workaround.
|Steps to Reproduce:
|- Edit -> Preferences -> User Interface -> Layout -> select any
| non-default layout
|- click Ok
|- notice that the new layout is selected
|- exit Ethereal
|- start Ethereal
|- notice that the default layout is presented and selected in the
| Preferences
|Notes:
This is the normal behavior of Ethereal and the change in preferences. You
need to click on the "Save" button in order to make the preferences be
saved.
|Bug #9: Drop Down List Displayed Incorrectly
|Severity: Low
|Effect: List looks funny. Has a workaround.
|Steps to Reproduce:
|- Edit -> Preferences -> User Interface -> Columns -> Properties ->
| Format drop down list
|- notice that when it displays there's a large empty area at the top
|- using the scroll arrow at the bottom shows that the display size is
| calculated as if all the entries were shown, even though they
| weren't
|Notes:
I have seen this bug too on GTK2 (not tested on GTK1). It has to do with the
height at which you start displaying the drop-down list. Maybe it is a bug
in the widget type in GTK2 where the scrolled list should start to be filled
at the top but it is only filled in from the height on the screen till the
bottom of the screen. However you can fill in the list by selecting the
triangular arrow pointing downwards at the bottom of the list, so all
entries scroll up and eventually fill the foreseen canvas.
Best regards,
Olivier
