Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 08:14:27 -0700 (PDT)
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4081 Summary: "Save As" over existing file may produce hidden popup window Product: Wireshark Version: 1.2.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Medium Component: Wireshark AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: beth.tridium@xxxxxxxxx Build Information: Version 1.2.2 (SVN Rev 29910) Copyright 1998-2009 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Compiled with GTK+ 2.16.2, with GLib 2.20.3, with WinPcap (version unknown), with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, with libpcre 7.0, with SMI 0.4.8, with c-ares 1.6.0, with Lua 5.1, with GnuTLS 2.8.1, with Gcrypt 1.4.4, with MIT Kerberos, with GeoIP, with PortAudio V19-devel (built Sep 14 2009), with AirPcap. Running on Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.1 beta5 (packet.dll version 4.1.0.1452), based on libpcap version 1.0.0, GnuTLS 2.8.1, Gcrypt 1.4.4, without AirPcap. Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 build 30729 -- If you use "Save As" to save over a file created earlier in the same Wireshark session (i.e. that did not exist before opening Wireshark), you get two dialogs: (1) the usual Windows-style dialog titled "Wireshark: Save file as" saying "foo.pcap already exists. Do you want to replace it?" AND (2) the older-style Wireshark popup (with the big red Do Not Enter icon and bold font) saying "Capture file: 'foo.pcap' already exists! Please choose a different filename." The problem is that you can't see (2) because it is hidden behind the Save As dialog! Even if the Save As dialog is not directly on top of it, you can't access (2) because (1) has the focus. And as soon as you press OK on (1), a new Save As dialog pops up and grabs the focus again. Moving the Save As dialog doesn't help, because the window does not refresh behind it so you get a mess. The ONLY way to get out of this is to hit Cancel, either on the Save As dialog or on (1). (I.e., you cannot complete the Save As action.) To recreate the issue: ---------------------- 1. Open Wireshark (I used 1.2.2 on Win XP) 2. Capture packets or open an existing capture file 3. Save or Save As to a new filename, e.g. "foo.pcap" 4. Save As (again) to the same new filename 5. When popup asks "Do you want to replace it?", click Yes At this point you will get a new Save As dialog. Do steps 4 & 5 again to verify the problem repeats itself. Move the Save As dialog to see the outline of popup (2), but you can't read the message or close it. NOTE: If the file already exists before you open Wireshark, this problem doesn't seem to occur. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
