Re: Custom item not related to the packet

[Antonello Tartamo <antonellotartamo () gmail com>]

pt contains 16 bytes I have filled up.
I'm telling proto_tree_add_item to read these bytes from offset 0 with
length 16.
The field is properly shown (correct bytes) in the Packet Details tree but
when I select it in the Packet Bytes view the bytes selected are not the
same shown in the Packet Details view.
