When a live capture is in progress, each packet is dissected when it arrives. There could be code that's assuming that the only frame being dissected is the one that's selected, and if you select one frame (causing it to be dissected), and then another frame is read in and dissected before you click on a field in the selected frame, the highlighting code might be assuming that the selected frame is the last one that was dissected. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
