Regarding the Expert Info, if you've applied a display filter then
select "Analyze -> Expert Info", the Expert Infos window contains ALL
Expert Info for all packets, even for packets that have been filtered
out due to the display filter. I would have expected it to contain only
Expert Info pertaining to the filtered packets. Is that by design or is
that a bug?
AFAIK, Yes and no - please correct my if I'm wrong with the following:
Expert info is using the tap mechanism which is designed to work with
all packets. So it is "by design" as it's working like e.g. the
Statistics stuff.
If this whole thing is "intelligent design" (sic) is a different
question. I would also expect to see only the expert infos of the
currently displayed packets - but that would be different than other
alike functionality - and having some functions work on the displayed
while other work on all packets is not a good idea.
Some statistic stuff is using what I would call a "pre-dialog", which
let's you specify a display filter for the upcoming thing, but the
usability of this is really odd ...
