scrollbar floats upwards - can’t see latest packets

0

I'm running wireshark v2.2.7 on windows 10 32bit, the scrollbar keeps floating upwards and I can't see the newest packets as they come in. I drag the scrollbar down to the bottom but as soon I release the mouse it floats upwards again. This never happened on previous wireshark versions. A search on google shows up bug reports about this but there's no solution I can see.

Another possibility (depending on the exact symptom) is bug 12074. The workaround for that bug is to disable (DNS) name resolution.

ok thanks for these responses. I disabled DNS name resolution and now the cursor stays where it should and I can see the new packets as they come in. Hope this bug gets resolved soon

A fix for the bug was merged last week so it should be fixed in 2.4.0 as well as 2.2.8.

Yes, this is almost certainly Bug 11034. The bug is still open and so there's no fix available yet.
