Actually, it doesn't. "Unmark all packets" really does unmark *ALL* packets,
whether they are displayed or not.
Currently there is no option to only unmark all displayed packets and to leave
the non-displayed marked packets alone. I think this makes it rather confusing
because there's no complement to "Mark all displayed packets", although I think
maybe that was the intent of the "Mark All Displayed Packets (toggle)" option,
except that doesn't really do what you would think it would do.

Whichever way yields the best overall functionality and so long as it's clear
and unambiguous as to how the packets will be marked/unmarked and to which set
(displayed or not) it will apply.
