How do you select both pane 1 & 2 to show the packet list? This 
configuration will not work!

The GUI should avoid this configuration.

If you have edited the preferences file by hand that way, it will not work.

We might need a hint in the preferences file about this.


As there were some changes in the preferences struct, you might simply 
need a "clean" or "distclean"!!!
