Since the advent of 0.10.5a the "Follow TCP Stream" window cannot be maximized.  The window can still be resized manually to make it larger but it cannot be maximized with a single click.  I have looked through the various preference options and do not see anything that I can change to enable this.  This is present in, at least, the Windows GTK1 version of Etehreal from 0.10.5a to the present version.  I don't know if running the GTK2 version would make a difference as I cannot get that version to work.
 
Was this an intentional change and if so could somebody give a brief explanation as to why it was done?  I have several individuals for whom I periodically provide updated version of Ethereal and they have commented several times on why this feature was removed.  Is this something that can be re-enabled in the next release?
