Feedback on WS 2 preview

[John Boxall]

I recently installed the latest stable WS and the WS2 preview and noticed
one difference in behaviour in the WS2 preview packet list pane that I hope
can be changed.

In the current WS, once the packet list pane fills up a scroll bar is made
available to scroll the list. If you scroll to the end (bottom) the packet
list continues to show the latest packet as more and more are coming in. In
the WS 2 preview the last displayed packet is shown and you must manually
scroll down to see all new packets from the previous time you scrolled to
the bottom.

I would prefer that the current behaviour be maintained. Apologies if this
has already been raised.

Presumably the scroll bar shows up in the preview as well (it shows up in a Qt build from the trunk), and the only issue is whether "Automatic scrolling in live captures" works (as it is in the GTK+ version, including current trunk builds) - it's set, but doesn't seem to be working in a built-from-the-trunk Qt version.

Please file this as a bug on the Wireshark Bugzilla.
