Build Information:
Version 1.12.2 (v1.12.2-0-g898fa22 from master-1.12)
--
I manually analyzed a PCAP file because discrepancies with the Wireshark expert
info between versions 1.12.12 vs 1.10.11.  What I discovered is Wireshark
1.12.12 was inconsistent with is classification of out-of-order and
retransmission packets. Technically, the packet is out-of-order and
retransmission, but my preference is classify it out-of-order only if it is the
first time the packet is observed and subsequent packets as retransmission. 

Because this is my customer data I am not going to upload the PCAP. 

1.12.2 build
packet 1775 seq 3096067058 tcp.len=1260
packet 1776 seq 3986068318 tcp.len=1260
packet 1834 seq 3096067058 tcp.len=1260, Wireshark expert info - out of order
Save the 1775-1834 in a separate PCAP file, 1.12.2 reported the packet as
retransmission. The original file has 193359 packets and smaller only has 60
packets. 

1.10.11 build
packet 1775 seq 3096067058 tcp.len=1260
packet 1776 seq 3986068318 tcp.len=1260
packet 1834 seq 3096067058 tcp.len=1260, Wireshark expert info – retransmission
