Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] VoIP Calls and -Graph dialog behaviour

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks Anders, for commenting on this. No worry that you can't make it.
I've read the report by Jim Young, who seems to confirm the intended
effect of Lars' patch.
Even though more issues are apparent, this seems to alleviate the most
annoying problems.

Lars, can you file an enhancement bug with your patch, so that:
1. We have the proper patch,
2. Have a track record of this issue.

Thanx,
Jaap
