"ACKed segment that wasn't captured", but also "This is an ACK to the segment in frame: nnn".
On Wireshark Version 4.0.1 (v4.0.1-0-ge9f3970b1527).
I have a lot of packets in a capture marked "ACKed segment that wasn't captured (common at capture start)", but also "This is an ACK to the segment in frame: nnn". Does this make sense?
I'd prepared a screen capture showing this but I'm forbidden to upload it due to lack of points. Sorry. Here's a packet export instead:
