Hi,
 
I just updated to the latest SVN (14522) and I have an issue that is not
in vanilla 0.10.11.
When filtering a large capture file (with, for example "!arp") and
pressing "Cancel" button in the middle of the filtering process, no
packets is displayed anymore in the main window.
The status bar shows the name of the current capture file (OK), but also
"No packets". "Clearing" (Clear button) the display filter doesn't bring
back the capture; I have to reload the capture file.
In 0.10.11 vanilla version, canceling the capture filter displays all
the packets that have been filtered until the time it is stopped.

Any idea?
Olivier.
