Hi all,
In the latest of the window selection silliness, some behavior seems to have reverted in the distributed Win32 0.10.5.
When generating statistics windows (SRT, conversation list, etc), the main ethereal window is brought to the foreground (I'm assuming because the progress dialog is created and is somehow "tied" to the main window). The new statistics window is left hidden behind and must be selected by the user manually.
This seemed like a problem in earlier versions (with some workarounds that didn't seem to work very well), but seemed to work great with 0.10.4.
Is this a Win32 GTK 2.4 thing? It definitely doesn't happen with GTK1.3. I haven't built recent codes with GTK 2.2.
This has also happened to me for a VERY long time with GTK 1.2.10, 2.2.4, 2.0.x with OS X, where it's especially annoying (buried X11 windows are a bit more of a pain to find). 

Thanks,
Ian
