When a capture filter has been applied to an interface on the Capture Options
page, the capture filter will be in effect later for that interface when
capture is started from the Capture Options page, even if the capture filter
text is deleted from the "Capture filter for selected interfaces:" input box.

TO REPRODUCE:

Start a continuous ping from a command prompt.

Go to the Capture Options page, select an interface, enter "icmp" in the
capture filter input box, and click "Start." You will see only the ICMP
packets, and "(icmp)" will be in the title bar.

Stop the capture, go back to the Capture Options page, delete "icmp" from the
capture filter input box, and click "Start." You will still see "(icmp)" in the
Title Bar and will still see only the ICMP packets.

Shut down Wireshark and restart. Go to the Capture Options page, select the
same interface, make sure no capture filter is entered in the capture filter
input box, and click "Start." You will still see "(icmp)" in the Title Bar and
will still see only the ICMP packets.

This only applies when capturing is started from the Capture Options page, not
when it is started from the main Wireshark screen. The stuck capture filter can
be replaced with a different one, but not cleared by deleting the text. It is
sometimes possible to clear the capture filter by going to Capture Options,
selecting the interface, deleting the capture filter text, entering a space,
and then backspacing and deleting the space.
