Hi Lars,

Maybe you could compile a version with this call (#ifndef _WIN32) and see what happens. Anders' comment doesn't look promising but who knows.

Thanx,
Jaap

PS: we might meet tomorrow.

Hi,
Written in a hurry :-)
Is there any particular reason we need to have the windows transient to
top level?

If you do not use transent and leave the child window open then close
wirehark
The child window will remain and show a portion of the main window on
Windows.

Coming back on this subject...

@Jeff:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2421
=> This ss definitevly the same issue.

All child dialogs are affected because all use the same function to
open:
The problem is the line in gtk/dlg_utils.c:
In function dlg_window_new(const gchar *title):
   gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW(win),
GTK_WINDOW(top_level));

Here all dialogs are made transient to the main window.
The info on this function
(http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-tra
nsient-for)
suggests that it is good practice to to so for all child dialogs, but
the behaviour on Windows is unbearable!
When *not* called, the behaviour on Windows is: All dialogs will have
their own taskbar tab (grouped/ungrouped depends on your Windows
settings of course), and simple click on any open window space brings
the window to front. I'm unhappy with the fact that taskbar space is
cluttered up by child windows, but I still prefer this behaviour to the
current one, which is a pain for me.

Is there any particular reason we need to have the windows transient to
top level?
What's the behaviour on Linux/Mac/...?
If no consensus can be achieved, may I suggest for a preference setting?

Lars

Hi,

i don't know what has been changed exactly, but the VoIP Calls and
-Graph dialog behaviour seems totally screwed up on 1.2.2
on Windows.

Initial condition: Wireshark main window maximized.
Once the Voip Calls and -Graph dialogs are opened:
Click on a line in the Graph dialog.
Now try to navigate to the packet details in main window.
Clicking on the main window doesn't bring it to front.
So minimize the Graph window => minimizes ALL windows!
So it needs an additional step to maximize the main window again.
Navigating back to the Graph dialog is a matter of luck:
Either you clicked on the right one of the two dialog
handles that are
shown in minimized state ... or not. If you clicked on the
wrong on,
you're back to Calls dialog and need first to click on the
dialog to
focus it and then on the Graph dialog to bring it to front.
A nightmare!


This bug sounds similar:
