Hi all,
until now I have always used a negative filter in network panel in order to exclude by the name, a particular ajax call that was launched every 5 seconds. 
Simply I wrote -loadMess in the filter input and I get all other calls.
Unfortunately today I update Chrome (google-chrome-stable) to the last version 51.0.2704.63 (64-bit) and this filter doesn't work anymore.
Some idea to fix it?

This is a known issue that has already been fixed, but will probably be a couple months before it hits stable. You can download Canary for now until the patch hits stable.

Sorry!

Hi,
today I received an update of Chrome (version 51.0.2704.79 64-bit) but this problem has not been resolved.
Who should I contact to fix this issue?

That build won't have the fix as it isn't an issue that causes crashing. It will be fixed in one of the next two major releases. So you're looking for 52 most likely. If you can't wait, a beta channel is available to get earlier access to the latest code.

Anyway is there any other working way to exclude each call containing a string? 
Enabling regex checkbox, I have a chance to solve this problem?

You could do it in regular expressions but it'd be difficult because regular expressions are designed to find things and the program would inverse it if needed.

The best thing you should/could do is use Chrome beta, Chrome dev or Canary. We highly encourage developers to use one of these channels because it will help us find these problems before they hit stable and affect everyone.

I understand your need that we, as developers, should use Chrome beta, dev or Canary, but on the other hand a web developer has to test his website with the major browsers in their stable releases.
I wrote on this post again, because
in a previous post Jonathan told me that this issue (present inside version 51) would have been solved in the next stable release (52).
Unfortunately it did not happen..

Anyway
find the correct way to exclude a string with regex on dev tool is not so easy.

I have done many tests but without success.
And today I asked on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38524801/chrome-dev-tool-any-way-to-exclude-each-call-containing-a-string-with-regex) but also the
recommended solution seems not to work...

Of course, any suggestion is welcome :)

​I second that. Not only that, but if you develop new features with an unstable Chrome build​, you may even not realize that something you are doing that seems to work correctly is really just a bug (sometimes a temporary one, sometimes not) and it is not supposed to work. It is rather problematic.

I understand the need to get bug reports and it is very important, I agree, but advocating and pushing this "use unstable builds" concept is not the best of ideas. Remember that web developers are either on a budget, or on a tight deadline. :(
