Device popup menu in Wireshark not working

I've got Wireshark running with nRF Sniffer, but it is not really working for me.

I'm using a PCA10040 board as the sniffer hardware.

I'm running on a Mac with MacOS 10.14.4.

I'm running Python 2.7.10 and I installed PySerial 2.7.

I downloaded nrfsniffer200beta312oct20181c2a221.zip.

I installed the hex file for PCA10040 onto the board.

I installed the nRF profile into Wireshark and installed the python scripts into the extcap folder.

Note that I first installed Wireshark 3.0.2 and then downgraded to 2.6.9, which did not affect my issue.

When I run Wireshark, I can select the nRF sniffer profile and I can select the interface to my sniffer board. I see all of the advertising data for all devices, but when I select a specific device from the Device popup menu, it does not affect the output. I still see all of the advertising data. If I select my device and connect to it from my iPad then I see the advertising stop for my device, but I continue to see the advertising packet for all of the other devices in my area. Also, I only see advertising data. It does not show any other packet types from my device.

Here is the log window contents after selecting my device.

It says it is following my device, but it is still following all devices.

Any help is appreciated.
