Hi,
I was going to post on Bugzilla (my first post) but for some reason it’s acting very slowly so I can’t sign up or search so I don’t know if this has been reported or not.

When capturing on Wireshark (from stdin in my case, not sure if it also applies to files) initially the export options in the File menu all work. However, after running a display filter such as for a simple example “http” all the options get greyed out. Even after clearing the display filter the options remain greyed out.

The version I’m using is the 64-bit precompiled download from the website

The about page shows:
Version 2.0.0 (v2.0.0-0-g9a73b82 from master-2.0)

Compiled (64-bit) with Qt 5.3.2, with libpcap, without POSIX capabilities, with
libz 1.2.5, with GLib 2.36.0, with SMI 0.4.8, without c-ares, without ADNS, with
Lua 5.2, with GnuTLS 2.12.19, with Gcrypt 1.5.0, with MIT Kerberos, with GeoIP,
with QtMultimedia, without AirPcap.

Running on Mac OS X 10.11.1, build 15B42 (Darwin 15.0.0), with locale C, with
libpcap version 1.5.3 - Apple version 54, with libz 1.2.5, with GnuTLS 2.12.19,
with Gcrypt 1.5.0.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4650U CPU @ 1.70GHz (with SSE4.2)

Built using llvm-gcc 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build
2336.9.00).

Thanks.
