Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] RE : Truncated field in XML detailed export result

Hi, thx for your quick answer!

Yes, I missed it in bugzilla but that's the same problem, yours just
seems explained better :)
Sorry for double-posting it.

If it's a "feature", I guess we'll have to do with it by never trusting
the "show" field and always decoding the "value" field.
But I do agree with you, it's at least disturbing :)
My two cents: let's not export the "show" field in the XML file, imho no
information is better than unannonced truncaded one.
Anyone has a better idea about this problem?

Thanks, Olivier.
