Hi

Based on comments from Ulf (http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200701/msg02802.html), have revised menu structure and labels for copying items, and updated the documentation to match.

(a) All copying now under one sub-menu in each of packet list and details panes

(b) Revised names for copy items, now the same for both panes

(c) Export Selected Packet Bytes item now in pop-up menu for packet list and details panes

(d) Removed Copy and Export from packet bytes pane; this leaves no items in the pop-up menu.

This last is because the functionality in the bytes pane was odd and inconsistent

- right-clicking would often change the selection in unexpected ways

- the export worked on the selected bytes, the copy on the whole packet

- the documentation did not reflect the functionality correctly (at least for Copy / Text Only).

Checked in.

Regards, ULFL
