Pressing "Restart current capture" toolbar button (green fin) only stops
capture, it does not clear previous captured frames and restart.
This bug only manifests if you are using a capture filter like "host
192.168.2.2". If no capture filter is used, no bug. The display filter is
irrelevant, only the capture filter.
After pressing this button, the only option is to "Close this capture file",
press "Continue without saving" and select interface again and restart the
trace, either by double clicking the interface or using enter or using the blue
fin button.
Please not that after selecting "Restart current capture", the "Start capturing
packets" button (blue fin) does not work either although it is not greyed.
This was first seen in version 2.0.1 and also happens in 2.0.4 (updated from
wireshark debian repository).
