Basically agreed on the above point. Changing the default behavior may not be good due to all the copied lower layer bytes and resulting increase in the size of capture in case there are 4-5 chunks per packet. But still feel it would be a nice optional feature to have when doing actual offline analysis.

However, there might be ways to draw your attention to the upper layer packet which matches the
filter.
Regarding above point, would like to suggest that the packet information being displayed can be restricted to the PDU which actually matches the display filter. E.g out of an SCTP packet carrying 3-4 M3UA chunks, the pinfo of only the chunk matching the filter can be displayed?

But they are in the same frame. I really prefer not to show them in a way they
have not been on the wire.

No. Filtering is based on packets. Not sure how to improve that. We can't show 'half' of a packet.
However, there might be ways to draw your attention to the upper layer packet which matches the
filter.
