    initial v4  
    11When I run Wireshark, and I try to open an existing capture file, wireshark crashes when I click on the "OK" button in the Open dialog.  This is written out to the shell where I started it:
    22
     3{{{

    45The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error.

    1213   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    1416Unfortunately, trying to run it in gdb didn't seem to help me figure out the underlying cause.  I don't know how to look up X Window System error codes.    I also remember it crashing when I would be doing a capture

    1618Interestingly, if I run wireshark like this:
    1719
     20{{{
    1821$ sudo wireshark -r mySampleFile
     22}}}
    1923
    2024it opens up the file just fine.  So the problem is likely in something outside wireshark (dependent library).
    … …  
    2226Similarly, if I run wireshark and start a capture, it will capture packets just fine.  But when the number of captured packets is longer than what can be presented in the window, and would force the user to use the scrollbar to see the bottom, it crashes. I can make it crash earlier by making the window smaller (quiet network at home allows me to recognize this).  The dumps to my terminal window when it does that seems to vary:
