Comment # 3 on bug 12130 from
Same problem for me.

For me this gives multiple issue's

#1 Can't keep the latest packages on screen:
I can't keep track of last incomming packages while capturing, it jumps back to
selected package after ~1sec when there are no new packages. As soon as new
packages come in it jumps back to bottom, untill it is ~1sec silent again, then
it will jump back to where ever your selected package is.

#2 Can't scroll through packages:
I can't scroll through packages and look for things since is you pause
scrolling for ~1sec it will return your scrolling position to the selected
package.

This is a other bug I think. #3 Same kind of problem seems to happen with
"Packet Byte" window.
A bit different, but with the same ~1sec timer the "Packet Byte" windows
returns to the top everytime when selecting an item in the "Packet Detail"
window. For example: Select "Length" in the "Secure Socket Layer" of a package.
It will also mark a few byte in the "Packet Byte" window. but return to top
after ~1sec.  Though I see now that this is not alway's ~1 sec. It seems it is
triggerd when some type of packages come in? 



 on previous version (don't know what it was) and now updated to 2.0.5, still
having this problem.

Looks like there are more reports on this, a few others:
