Hi All,

Has anyone else experienced the following on Vista (x64):

When Wireshark opens, click a link in the lower pane. For example,
"How to Capture". A browser [window|tab] opens and displays
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup. Next, attempt to click a menu
item. Rather than the menu opening, a new [window|tab] opens, and
navigates to http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup. I find that I
must exit Wireshark and restart to clear the issue.


Sounds vaguely similar to Bugs #2478 & #3485:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2478
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3485


What happens if you:
1. click "Open a previously captured file"
in the middle pane of the Welcome screen ?

2. Hit cancel on the "File Open" window which pops up

3. Try to a different button on the Welcome screen.
