The TCP Follow function is setting a display filter. You need
to unset it. In previous versions of ethereal, we did the wrong thing
and made the display filter non-obvious; it wasn't printed
in the display filter window. The way to reset the "hidden" display
filter, as documented in the man page, was to put your cursor in
the display filter text entry box and press enter, effectively
settning a null display filter.
Now that we have the display filter combo-box, we now do the right
thing and no longer hide actions from the user. The Reset button
will clear your display filter, instead of having to press Enter.
The Combobox will let you select a previously-entered display filter,
but an Enter is still required to activate that display filter.
Does that help, or is there further functionality that you're
looking for?
