In the Windows version of the 0.10.14 release, the capture filter
doesn't function. I set it, leave the dialog box, come back into the
dialog box, and it's unset. I set it again, I do a save, I close the
dialog box, I come back in, and it's unset again. I set it again, I save
it, I even leave the dialog box open, and then I do a capture. IT
CAPTURES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! The capture filter DOES NOT WORK.
 
Then I thought, well....maybe it's not sophisticated enough to filter
during the capture (by setting the filter in advance). Maybe it can only
filter out the unwanted captured packets, from the display. So I ran a
capture and then tried to filter the captured packets after the fact.
Nope. That doesn't work, either, so that must not be it.
 
The product isn't much good without a working capture filter.
