I've noticed that apart from the normal green or red background colours used for display filter syntax highlighting, a new colour of amber or yellow has been introduced. I am guessing this cam in in V1.4.0 or 1.4.1. What is its significance?


Actually it was there in 1.2 too.


If I enter a filter such as:-

rtp.p_type eq 97   it is green

If I use:-

rtp.p_type ne 97   it is amber

Is this just a warning in case you have used the classic mistake of:-

ip.addr ne 10.10.10.10
Yes. There should be a warning explaining the color in the... I guess it's a status bar in the lower-left corner (the same place that the field explanation and the field's dfilter are shown when you select a protocol item).
