icmp ttl and total_length are displayed with commas

Hello, I did a capture on my local lan and I see something very weird.

the ttl and total length field on icmp packets that are unreachable adds decimals.

the cap is very big, 300,000 files, but the a screen capture is here: https://i.imgur.com/lzfr5tV.png

it drives me crazy, any ideas?

(using wireshark 2.6.5)

All the packets you've shown are ICMPs which have two IP headers - own ICMP's IP header and original packet IP header. So TTL values correspond to both IP headers. Try to expand all packet details under ICMP subtree and you'll spot the source of the second TTL value.

yes, you can. Right-click on a column header, select Edit Column and change Occurrence value where 0 means "display all such field values", 1 means "display only first field value" etc.
