What the code is silently doing is to set a maximum indent of 160 characters. This is the line:
https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/blob/master/epan/print_stream.c?ref_type=heads#L282 (and, lines 320 - 321) For the purposes of writing to a file, I don't see why the indent should have any maximum. Or, it could be a lot bigger. The MAX_INDENT in epan/print.c, for XML output, is 2048 characters. I have started a merge request to increase this maximum to 1024. https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/20278 Gilbert On Fri, May 23, 2025 at 2:11 AM Tamás Regős <reg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Community, > > Could anyone have a look please and confirm if the following observation > is related to a bug? > > Version 4.4.6 (v4.4.6-0-gaebb20483889). > > One example packet is attached. > > I compared the two ways of exporting the packet details into a text file: > 1.
