Hi

I am usually using wireshark remotely. This means that it will set a
default filter to prevent sniffing the remote traffic it generates itself.

For me, this is not needed, as i always set filters to limit the traffic
to what i need to see. If the default filter would be set only at startup,
it would not be a problem, but what makes it rather irritating is that each
time i want to modify the filter, it removes the filter i had set and
replaces it with the default filter.

How can i disable this behavior? This is on wireshark 1.12.1


I don't think you can disable it.  It sounds like you're running into a
longstanding bug report:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9115

You might want to add yourself to the Cc: list for that bug so you'll be
notified whenever any progress is made on it.
