Public bug reported: Clicking 'Restart current capture' button while a capture is running results in 'No interface selected' error message instead of a capture restart. You get a similar looking error message after having stopped a running capture, then clicking the 'Start capturing packets' button.
This is quite a frustrating issue as hitting that restart button when I re-run a test is a common part of my workflow. There is a workaround in that I can click the 'Capture options' button, setup the capture again then click the 'Start' button in that new window. I have a quick look about and this might already have been reported in Debian under: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812495 which may have been fixed. The Wireshark project itself may have had this bug reported for the Ubuntu platform in this mail thread: https://www.wireshark.org/lists /wireshark-bugs/201511/msg01072.html which links back to this bug https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11834 in the project database. That could mean all that needs to happen is a pull from upstream.
