Build Information:
Trunk
--
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #6640 +++

>From that bug's first comment:

  The behavior with the SVN trunk is different though.  In this case, the file
is
  overwritten, but the current file remains open and displayed.  If you want to
  view the new file, you have to manually open it as a separate step.

This was introduced in the trunk as a consequence of making File -> Save As
default to saving displayed packets; as noted in the sixth comment in that bug:

  Note, however, that the default behavior of "Save As", in the trunk, is to
save
  only the displayed packets.  Only a save that saves all the captured packets
is
  treated as a traditional "Save As" where the current file is the result of
the
  save, *even if all packets are being displayed*; all others are probably best
  thought of as "Export Specified Packets" operations, where the packets are
  saved to a new file but the current file isn't changed.

Edit -> Save As should always save everything and make the new file the current
file.  There should be a separate operation to write out a user-specified
(possibly improper) subset of the packets, and the subset should default to the
"displayed packets".

The latter was handled by bug 6192.  This bug is for the former.
