Has anyone else, as a new user to Wireshark, wanted to clear the currently
captured packets, and clicked the "Clear" button, only to find out that the
Filter was cleared?

I'm relatively new t Wireshark, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious,
but as I use Wireshark, I want to just clear all packets captured to far,
because they're no longer relevant (I'm restarting my debugging session or
whatever).

This is such painfully basic functionality, but I can't seem to find any other
way to accomplish it than by restarting the live capture.
