See the attached screenshot. If the list of packets is long, the scrollbar fills out the whole scrollbar space instead being just tiny. This prevents the user from scrolling in the results. When the boundary between packet listing window and it's lower neighbour window is drageed, the scrollbar resets into correct function. I don't know if this is not a result of Gentoo compiling Ethereal with wrong GTK version, or applying unauthorized patches. I already reported one bug of Linux kernel to LKML and they fucked me off because Gentoo applied unauthorized console background patch. So I am reporting here and not to Ethereal people. If you are sure it's bug of Ethereal and not gentoo, please change the status to upstream *and* report the bug to Ethereal folks. Thanks. ethereal 0.10.12 Compiled with GTK+ 2.6.7, with GLib 2.6.4, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.2.3, with libpcre 5.0, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, without ADNS. Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on Linux 2.6.13. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Rin Ethereal 2. Capture large amount of packets I don't know how large 3.

Created attachment 67999 [details] Screenshot when the problem manifests
Hi, GTK+ 2.6.10 and GLib 2.6.5 are stable (on x86 and amd64), have you installed? Have you the same problems with these versions of GTK+/Glib? If no this bug can be closed.
This bug is awaiting response from reporter, see comment #2.
