--
On a windows XP platform with a screen resolution of 800X600 (which is the
minimal supported screen resolution supported by Wireshark), if the application
is maximized during a capture, the output sreen becomes frozen and won't be
updated unless you resize the windows. 

However, if the Wireshark windows is maximized (and frozen) and that you
minimize the window and restore it back to full screen everything is fine. I
would really like to use the application in full screen and not have to do this
perky move to make it work. We were using a really old version (1.2.9) and we
didn't have this issue and we want to update our setup. Please fix this bug, at
least to respect your application minimum requirements, which is not the case
right now.

Regards

Ben
