Can't apply filters by right-clicking

  • Wireshark 3.4.10 (Git v3.4.10 packaged as 3.4.10-0+deb11u1)
    • Debian Bullseye up-to-date

When I've used Wshark on Windows, I've been able to create display filters by right-clicking on the Protocol field on the capture, and choosing Apply as Filter. This isn't working, it's greyed out on the right-click menu. Likewise Prepare as a Filter is grayed out.

Right-clicking the protocol in the packet details works; I can both Apply and Prepare Selected and Not Selected.

This Wshark version is installed from Debian (stable) repositories with apt. I've no clue what Wshark version I was using on Windows - I left Win world several years ago, and don't ATM have a test PC or even a Virtual Machine running Windows.

Thank you for the contributions. I found an updated version in Debian resources, but it's an upstream version which I need to build from source. Dang... I smell a dependency hell...
