[Ethereal-dev] bug in 0.10.3 - capture window disappears

["Stuart MacDonald" <stuartm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is on Windows XP and is easily reproducible:

- start Ethereal 0.10.3
- <ctrl-k> to get the Capture Options dialog
- click the minimise button *on the main window*, not the dialog box.
  Note that the Ethereal main window minimises but the Capture Options
  dialog does not.
- Click the Ok button. Presumably capture starts, but there is no
  Capture Stats dialog, which also means there's no Stop Capture
  button.

This is the bug. Nothing I can do will bring up the Capture Stats
dialog, and thus Ethereal is in an infinite loop. <alt-tab> still only
shows one Ethereal icon, the main window. Selecting it gives it the
focus, but it stays minimised. Right-clicking on it in the task bar
and selecting either Restore or Maximise will cause the main window to
display, but all the buttons/menus are inactive, and there is still no
Capture Stats dialog.

Only using the time-honoured <ctrl-alt-del> -> End Process method can
I get Ethereal to quit.

Please copy my email address on any replies you want me to see, I do
not read this list on a regular basis.

I am willing to do further experimentation or testing of development
releases.
