OSX Lion release?

0

Do you know if your latest Snow Leopard compatible release is also compatible with OSX Lion, or do you have a projected release date for WS for Lion?

It's mostly compatible with Lion, although if you scroll the packet list with a scroll-ball (rather than by dragging the scrollbar) or possibly with a trackpad, some rows in the packet list will show up as blank; if you move the mouse over them, they draw normally. This appears to be a GTK+ bug that shows up with the presumably-newer version of X11 in Lion; upgrading the GTK+ in the OS X buildbots should make this go away.

There's no reason to have a separate build for Lion.

I agree with Guy. I've played with various versions of X11 that will work with Lion, but I haven't noted the GTK issue.

That UI refresh issue is really annoying on Lion. If it's possible to spin up a new build at some point to take care of this issue, it would be much appreciated.

You can ask a new question of your own by clicking ask a question above (top-right).

(In fact, you should always ask new questions that way. You should only post an answer if you're answering the original question, even if the answer is, say, "you can't do that with Wireshark"; everything else should be a comment. -Guy Harris)

I agree with H_B, please release a version for Lion that fixes this issue. It's almost impossible to use.

The 1.6.4 build is built with GTK+ 2.24.5, so it should work. Try 1.6.4 or later builds.
