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.

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

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 dialoghandles that areshown in minimized state ... or not. If you clicked on thewrong on,you're back to Calls dialog and need first to click on thedialog tofocus it and then on the Graph dialog to bring it to front. A nightmare!This bug sounds similar: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2421 ______________________________________________________________ _____________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
