Hi,

First, I must say I am thank you, fine gentlemen, affording me time.

at work I shark using old version. :)
I, just yesterday, got new version at home. My new version at home has much more difficult to start a pcap    
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

ordinarily I press ctrl+k to open the Capture Options dialog because as an advanced user I prefer advanced control of 
my packet sniffing. This was easy to use pcap filter just start typing the pcap filter as soon as done pressing 
ctrl+k very fast, very pro. Now, I find new interface, ctrl+k I can not press any keyboard combinatorics to open the 
window to type in pcap. Space deselects the interface. Enter deselects interface. Tab will not shift focus. F6 will 
not shift focus. Instead, I am required to take fingers off keyboard, move to mouse, and either double click or at 
least move focus away from the check box and press enter.
I would preference to retroactively capture with easily accessible pcap filter input rather than requiring new 
hotness using-the-mouse, which is not fast, not pro at all.

frustrating. If any in their kind heart had room to fix this next version, much appreciation and thanks.
The functionality you describe should work again. Irene has committed a fix:

Please test it.
