Using Wireshark 4.2.0, display filter udp[8]==8C produces no results in the example below. With version 3.6.1, the frame is displayed.

With 4.2.0 udp.payload[0]==8C and data.data[0]==8C work, but that makes complex filters way too long. Any slices for bytes 0 through 7 are good (UDP header). Did I miss the memo that udp[n] slicing into the UDP payload no longer works?

I can reproduce this, also with version 4.0.x and automated build 4.3.0rc0-736-g47a4d7f48061. In Wireshark 3.6.18 it still worked. There has been some major work done on the Display filter engine in version 4.0 and 4.2, so it seems this is an overlooked use-case which has resulted in a bug.

Could you please add an issue to the Wireshark Issue Tracker for this bug?
