Since installing 1.8.0 I find that almost every time I move or resize a Wireshark window, my screen freezes: the mouse cursor moves but clicking does nothing. I can recover by using control-alt-del, then clicking Cancel, after which the screen repaints and normal mouse operations resume, until I next move a window. Reverting to 1.6.8 has restored sanity. asked 17 Jul '12, 10:00  frogb |
One Answer:
I think this is one for the bug tracker at https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/. After finding out if there is already an open bug for this you should include details information about your system, because I know tons of 1.8 installations that run just fine on Win7 x64 (for me, it's working fine on two of my Workstations and on my Laptop at least). So it is probably something in relation to your hardware/driver specs. You can also try to update your graphics card drivers to the latest version, maybe it helps. answered 17 Jul '12, 10:24  Jasper ♦♦ |
