Title: Display filter Problems

I just installed Ethereal 0.8.20 on an XP system. I seems to be a very comprehensive package.

My current problem is that when I define a display filter through the Edit/Display Filter menu box (filter name "test" filter string "ip.addr eq 192.168.10.1") and then apply it using the filter line option box (entering "test") it generates the following error "Unexpected end of filter string". If I enter the string (ip.addr eq 192.168.10.1) directly into the filter line box it works just fine.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Is this a bug? The filter setup process does not appear to be all that complicated. I don't see anything in the documentation indicating that I need to add additional closing characters to the end of the string.
