I am unable to stop an active capture

I recently installed wireshark on my linux system. I run Mageia3I followed the guidance at http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges, but following the directions under "Setting network privileges for dumpcap" or "Limiting capture permission to only on group" did not allow wireshark to be run as a user. It does run as root and cannot be stopped without killing the app.
I setuid on dumpcap to run wireshark gui as a user and that works, but after I begin a capture I am unable to stop it with the 'Stop' button or by doing Ctrl-E. I have to go in and kill the pid.
wireshark -v shows: wireshark 1.10.11 (Git Rev Unknown from unknown)Compiled (64-bit) with GTK+ 3.6.4, with Cairo 1.12.12, with Pango 1.32.5, with

version 1.3.0, with libz 1.2.7, GnuTLS 3.1.16, Gcrypt 1.5.4. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz Built using gcc 4.7.2.Advice on how to stop an active capture without resorting to the kill command would be most appreciated.
Thank you. -- Leon ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
