Clicking in I/O Graph doesn’t show corresponding packet

Clicking in the I/O graph doesn't show the corresponding packet in the packet details window. Am I doing something wrong?

Possibly you've encountered Bug 10922, "wireshark QT could not jump to right time stamp in packet list pane upon clicking a point on IO graph if Time of day is selected."?

Is the Packet List display going to the wrong packet, or is it not moving at all? If you're using a line graph, the graph line will be continuous, but in order for Wireshark to change its position in the Packet List, there has to actually be a packet at the point on the graph that you clicked on. It's possible there aren't very many packets in that part of the file, and you are not actually clicking on a point where there is a packet.

To see exactly where the packets are, you could temporarily switch to the dot, square, or diamond graph type.

It's also possible that you have encountered Bug 12401, which will be fixed in v2.4.
