Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Expert info missing entries

Hi Andrej,

There wasn't any follow-up to my query.  I'm afraid I've come to
prefer the 'Expert Info Composite' view.

I just tried to reproduce the problem with my up-to-date build (it
doesn't have the patch from the previous email), and everything looks
OK.  I disabled colour highlighting and the flat 'Expert Info' view
still gets populated.

Can you check if this problem has been fixed, or else describe in
detail how to reproduce the problem?

Best regards,
Martin

Team,

I came across a problem that is described in posting
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200607/msg04326.html

I can confirm that the change as described there works, e.g.
in expert_dlg_init() I call:
   cf_redissect_packets(&cfile);
instead of
   cf_retap_packets(&cfile, FALSE);

I was not able to locate any followup on the posting.
Is this problem not important? I am adding many expert infos in my
dissector, and would like to understand if they should appear in the
expert info list or not.

Alternatively, can someone try to figure out why the expert_item value
is null when performing a retap (this is from the comment in
expert_comp_dlg.c)? I am afraid I would need too much time for it.

Thanks in advance
Andrej
