There is a comment in the code to say that the crosshairs with the lines didn't work well with cairo. The code is still there but things are currently configured to use the crosshair cursor instead.

I have reused the TCP graph code for another protocol recently, and plan to try enabling the line-drawing code to see if I can see what goes wrong. An alternative might be a text control that gets updated with time+sequence number when the cursor moves. Does anyone know what went wrong with the cross-hair lines, or on what platforms?

xor does not work with cairo so some completely different approach is needed.

    So I'm guessing not many people use this feature (assuming it
    really is a feature).  I've also noticed that the crosshairs have
    become a small "+" symbol instead of the vertical and horizontal
    hairlines that extended all the way to both axes, which made it
    easier to determine the values of the associated coordinates for
    the crosshair location.  It would be nice if that old behavior
    returned as well.

    Should I  be submitting a bug report/feature request for this stuff?

    Thanks!

    scrolling a zoomed TCP Graph, such as a Time Sequence graph, by
    clicking and dragging with the right mouse button no longer seems
    to work with the new 1.8.0 version.  I've tried this both on
    Windows 7 and Mac OS X Lion and get the same behavior.  Falling
    back to 1.6.8 restores the feature.  I haven't found this panning
    feature documented in any of the Wireshark manuals, so maybe this
    is not a supported feature, but if it is expected to work it no
    longer seems to.
