Copyright 1998-2014 Gerald Combs <gerald@‍wireshark.org> and contributors. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Compiled (64-bit) with GTK+ 2.24.23, with Cairo 1.10.2, with Pango 1.34.0, with GLib 2.38.0, with WinPcap (4_1_3), with libz 1.2.5, with SMI 0.4.8, with c-ares 1.9.1, with Lua 5.2, without Python, with GnuTLS 3.1.22, with Gcrypt 1.6.0, without Kerberos, with GeoIP, with PortAudio V19-devel (built Sep 16 2014), with AirPcap.

Running on 64-bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1, build 7601, with WinPcap version 4.1.3 (packet.dll version 4.1.0.2980), based on libpcap version 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b (20091008), GnuTLS 3.1.22, Gcrypt 1.6.0, without AirPcap. Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz, with 4086MB of physical memory.

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 build 40219

The dashed vertical lines should be moveable to allow the user to view the full packet information text. Most of the time the info text is ellipsized. In call flows with just some participants the user might want to widen the columns to view more information.

This fixes the issue, but not in the way described and not in the widget toolkit listed. It adds zoom controls to the call flow / sequence dialog in the Qt UI. Both Qt and GTK+ UIs draw nodes and their accompanying dashed lines using uniform spacing. I doubt we'll ever make the lines movable but changing the spacing size is pretty easy to do (at least it was in Qt).
