Time Display Format

edit

I've captured some pings between two computers and sorted them by "Src addr" with the time display precision set to "Microseconds" and we see:

30  2023-05-10 11:16:41.028043  192.168.1.101       192.168.1.1         ICMP    98  Echo (ping) request  id=0x001d, seq=1/256, ttl=64 (reply in 31)
46  2023-05-10 11:16:42.030052  192.168.1.101       192.168.1.1         ICMP    98  Echo (ping) request  id=0x001d, seq=2/512, ttl=64 (reply in 47)

So the time between item 30 and 46 is 1.0049622 seconds. If I then change the Time Display Format using "Menu -> View -> Time Display Format -> Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet" I expect time Time column for No. 46 to display 1.002009 it doesn't, it displays 0.086390:

30  0.492581    192.168.1.101       192.168.1.1         ICMP    98  Echo (ping) request  id=0x001d, seq=1/256, ttl=64 (reply in 31)
46  0.086390    192.168.1.101       192.168.1.1         ICMP    98  Echo (ping) request  id=0x001d, seq=2/512, ttl=64 (reply in 47)

And 0.086390 is the time between No. 45 and 46 i.e. "Seconds Since Previous Captured Packet":

45  0.007271    fe80::ba27:ebff:fe73:ae23       ff02::16            ICMPv6  110 Multicast Listener Report Message v2
46  0.086390    192.168.1.101       192.168.1.1         ICMP    98  Echo (ping) request  id=0x001d, seq=2/512, ttl=64 (reply in 47)

So this appears to be a bug in Wireshark, should I file a bug report or am I mistaken on what "Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet" should do?

Here is the Wireshark version info from the "About" dialog box:
