I noticed, that the same display filter expression (!ssl) for the same file
gives me a different number of packets in different circumstances. The file is
attached. This happens under Ubuntu and Windows.

In Ubuntu

Right click file -> Open with wireshark -> 60 packets
 displayed
Apply display filter "!ssl" -> 48 packets
 displayed
Keep display filter(!) -> File -> Open same file -> 46 packets
 displayed(*)
Keep display filter -> File -> Open -> Filter "!ssl" -> choose/open file -> 30
packets

Remove display filter -> File -> Open -> Filter "!ssl" -> choose/open file ->
30 packets


tshark -R '!ssl' -r demo.dump -w out.dump; capinfos -c out.dump; capinfos -c
out.dump -> 46 packets


================================================================================

In Windows

Right-click -> Open -> 60 packets

Display filter "!ssl" -> 30 packets

Keep display filter(!) -> File -> Open -> demo.dump -> 26 packets
 (*)
Keep display filter -> File -> Open -> Filter "!ssl" -> choose/open file -> 26
packets

Remove display filter -> File -> Open -> Filter "!ssl" -> choose/open file ->
26 packets


tshark -R !ssl -r demo.dump -w out.dump; capinfos -c out.dump -> 26 packets



The cases marked with (*) seem especially strange to me. Am I doing anything
wrong or have I misunderstood something? I expected that all filter expressions
would give the same number of packets.
