Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] VoIP Calls and -Graph dialog behaviour

["RUOFF LARS" <Lars.Ruoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It works for me on trunk also.
I have attached a patch for dlg-utils.c which removes the transient
thing for WIN32 only.
Anders, maybe you could back-check to see if you have the pending child
dialogs issue again with this?
