Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] display filter problem...
I've got the exact same issue
win 2000 running ethereal 0.10.14
it didn't happen on any previous version (ever version since 9.x)
Having said that - i'm happy to wait - its still an excellent product i use ever day - great job and thanks!

The delay seems to occur in two circumstances once 'ip.addr==' has been
entered:
1. When a digit is typed. There is no delay when a non-digit is
typed. Also note that if multiple digits are typed rapidly, there is only
one delay - all typed digits appear after the delay.
2. When backspacing removes a digit that is preceeded by another
digit. There is no delay when backspacing removes a digit that is
preceeded by a period or other non-digit.
I don't see any delays in 0.10.12.

"Can I get you a drink?", the barman asked.
"I think not," Descartes replied... and instantly disappeared in a puff of smoke.
