It is not a bug, the context menu for the individual packet window has just not been implemented yet. As with all 
functionality in Wireshark:

a) someone needs to come up with the idea of some functionality

b) someone needs to take interest in writing the code and have time to do it

For the context menu in the single packet window, there is already an enhancement request on bugzilla (which is the 
place where people can express their ideas for new functionality if they are not able to write the code themselves). It 
has so far not been picked up by anyone to write the code.

I do agree with you that having the context menu on the single packet window would be nice to have.

Cheers,
Sake
