Package: wireshark
Version: 0.99.6rel-5
Severity: minor


A common case:
I start wireshark, sniff a bit, and then just quit the
program as I got nothing of interest this time.

The dialog that pops up has wording that is easy to misunderstand.
The Norwegian translation is perhaps worse, but the english
is bad enough for a minor bug report.

In this context, I am quitting/cancelling/aborting the wireshark
program. I do not think about the captured data at all, because
that turned out to be uninteresting.

The dialog gives me these options:
* "Continue without saving"
No, I don't want to _continue_ with wireshark, I want to
get out of it. So it seems this option is not for me.
(Turns out it is the one I want though, but who could guess :-)

* "Cancel"
Sure, I want to cancel wireshark, but this button doesn't? 

* "Save"
Not interesting, I have nothing to save.

Now, of course the "continue" is the way to go, but the
wording is hopeless. Do I want to "contine cancelling wireshark",
or do I want to "cancel the cancelling?".

My suggestions for better wording on the two first buttons:
"Quit without saving"
"Don't quit"

This makes it clearer.
