attached.

Package: ethereal
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: minor
The 0.9.13 version of ethereal has several minor UI issues which make
it irksome to use.
First, the column sizes in the top frame cannot be adjusted. Ethereal
seems (at least with my font selection) to select a size just a little
too small to hold the data.
Second, it seems impossible to use the cursor keys to move the
selection bar in the top frame. One must use the mouse to change the
selected packet for display in the lower frames. The most common
thing which happens instead of the desired behavior is that the hex
dump window scrolls. The options regarding the function of mouse
clicks in the various windows don't seem to affect this behavior, and
clicking the the top frame (or tabbing to get there) doesn't seem to
achieve quite what it used to. One _can_ move an outline box from
packet to packet, but I haven't yet managed to find the appropriate
keystroke to select the outlined packet.
These behaviors are changes from the 0.9.4 version in woody.
