Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Problem displaying packets containing extended characters in 0.9.14

[spamcontrol2@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've noticed that starting with 0.9.14 I have problems with captures
occasionally.  Packet summaries do not appear in the Info column, and in a
separate window I see the following errors:

(ethereal.exe:1328): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_text_size: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed
(ethereal.exe:1328): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_win32_draw_text: gdk_nmbstowchar_ts failed

One set of these messages seem to appear per packet that has a problem.

I've only noticed this in Windows (Win2k and WinXP, and on multiple systems),
and do not have this problem with 0.9.13.  I know that I don't have these
problems in Linux with 0.9.14, at least with GTK 1.2.10.

I've only noticed this with SMB packets, and I believe it's with all packets
that contain strings with extended characters (in one case, 0x00e4) that would
appear in the Info column.  These same strings appear to display in the tree,
except that the suspected characters do not display.

Has anyone else noticed this?  Could this be a quirk with GTK 1.3 in general, or
the Windows port of GTK 1.3?

I can provide traces if anyone would like an example.
