Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 7377] Statusbar on GTK3 too big in capture window

Some notes:

1. As suggested, the issue seems to be related to the configuration of the
"normal panes".

The effect of the seemingly overly large status bar changes depending upon
whether the Main Toolbar and the Filter Toolbar are visible.

2. In general, resizing of the panes in the main capture file window doesn't
work quite right (i.e. works differently than in Wireshark GTK2).

I suspect Anders and Jakub are correct in that the problem has to do with the
behaviour change with respect to expanding widgets. 

To be continued (tomorrow) ...

-------------

From: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch24s02.html#id1459641)

Check your expand and fill flags

The behaviour of expanding widgets has changed slightly in GTK+ 3, compared to
GTK+ 2.x. It is now 'inherited', i.e. a container that has an expanding child
is considered expanding itself. This is often the desired behaviour. In places
where you don't want this to happen, setting the container explicity as not
expanding will stop the expand flag of the child from being inherited. See
gtk_widget_set_hexpand() and gtk_widget_set_vexpand().

If you experience sizing problems with widgets in ported code, carefully check
the "expand" and "fill" flags of your boxes.
