I see this as a non-issue and as perfectly normal behaviour.

The [TCP Window Full] is a Wireshark expert-generated message. It's not something seen on the wire. Remember that everything shown in square brackets in Wireshark is expert-generated, so based on what Wireshark has seen (TCP Receive Window size of 14480B in packet 68) coupled with how much data is sent (packets 70-79) the TCP receive window should now be full.

However, in packet 80, the receiver now asks everything and in addition increases its TCP Receive Window. This is the same for (haven't checked each and everyone) the rest of the [TCP Window Full] messages.

You shouldn't worry about this, but you should worry if you see [TCP ZeroWindow] which is essentially a message containing a TCP Receive Window size if - you guessed it - zero. That is a clear indicator that the receiver does not have enough ressources to empty its receive buffer.

Out of curiosity - where and how was this captured?
