We don't currently support selecting multiple packets.

Why are you trying to select multiple packets?  Currently, all that 
would let you do would be to save or print multiple packets to a file, 
but there are workarounds (e.g., select them with a range, or mark them).

It would be useful to allow that selecting multiple packets (although, 
of course, nothing would be displayed in the packet detail window if you 
did that), so we should work on enabling that at some point (especially 
if, for example, we allow copying from the packet display window to the 
window system's clipboard, so that you can copy multiple summary lines 
to the clipboard).
