This bug seems a bit old.
VoIP Calls Prepare Filter generally seems to be working for me.
A selection of frame numbers and CallIDs is used to build filter.
>From the VoIP call flow dialog filter is created and then other operations can
be done on the selected packets.

wireshark Version 1.99.0 

One minor issue:
If a filter is already filled in then the Prepare Filter doesn't overwrite it.
You can clear filter. Then click Prepare filter.

A general issue:
The VoIP call flow ignores filter.
When filter is changed I see the window is refreshed but filter not used (all
SIP packets analysed for flow).
It would probably be desirable to filter and then do VoIP call flow on the
selection only. And it might be a do-able code change (for me).

I was looking at "Prepare Filter" because I was thinking about making a change
for VoIP flows // SIP flows.

It's very useful to see all SIP flows (i.e. flows for REGISTER, OPTIONS and any
SIP messages based on Call-IDs). Currently "VoIP Call" shows flows for SIP
INVITE flows only. It is easy to change code to do flow for all packets. Best
to add a SIP Flow menu option I think.

Anyway that should be a seperate feature/bug but might be an opportunity to
improve how VoIP call Flow interacts with filters if work is done in this area.
