Short Frame: tcp (size was limited while capturing)

"Short frame" might too easily suggest that this is a problem with the frame, rather than with the way it's captured, so perhaps it shouldn't say "Short frame" at all.

"Packet data size limited while capturing: tcp"?

I agree. 'Short Frame" sounds too much like the error reported by a NIC when a frame is less than the minimum.
