--
With Qt Wireshark after stopping a live capture, if one chooses "Save as" as
opposed to "Save", the newly captured trace file will be saved, but the Qt UI
will not really acknowledge that the trace file was saved. The title bar
persists in displaying "Capturing from <interface name>", and the lower left
status bar persists in displaying "Ready to load or capture" Attempts to start
a new capture or open an existing capture file will present the dialog box "You
have unsaved packets. Do you want to save the captured packets before starting
a new capture?"

Workaround: Use "Save" instead of "Save as". Using "Save" will update the title
bar to the name of the newly saved capture file. The lower left status bar will
still report "Ready to load of capture".

With GTK Wireshark once a capture is stopped one can choose either Save or Save
as to save the new capture file. Once the file is saved, the title bar is
updated to present the newly created capture file and the lower left status bar
updated to display the full path of the capture file.
