MQTT5 packets include properties right before the message. MQTT3 packets do not include properties. See: https://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt...

When capturing MQTT5 traffic, the properties are not dissected properly. E.g., a "property length" byte of zero is displayed as a zero byte at the start of the message, resulting in a "Trailing stray characters" warning:

Only when the Connect command packet is also captured, which includes the version number 5, are the properties displayed correctly:

Is there any way to get Wireshark to display MQTT5 packets correctly even when the Connect command packet is not part of the capture? Is there a setting for "MQTT version"? I did not find anything like that.

Yes, download the development version of Wireshark, which has a fix for bug 16722 addressing just this.
