Missing the ‘Create Alert Filter…’ option

[David]

Hi,

I seem to be missing the Alert Filter right click option as described here:

https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/alert-filters/

The easiest way to create Alert Filters is to right click an alert and select the ‘Create Alert Filter…’ option. This will display the Alert Filter Dialog.

Goto the Marketplace and install the add-on.

Addon (Alert Filter) is installed and up to date...

I can create Alert Filters manually but as described the Alert Filter right click option is missing.

Could you check zap.log in ZAP's home directory? https://www.zaproxy.org/faq/what-is-the-default-directory-that-zap-uses/

Looks fine: (grep AlertFilter .ZAP/zap.log -C 2)

Try case insensitive?

[David]

Also looks fine, even with an optional whitespace character. (grep -iP "Alert\s*Filter" .ZAP/zap.log -C 2)
Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing here - there should be a 'Create Alert Filter...' option in the context menu after right clicking an Alert in the Alerts tab?

Ya. I checked both Kali and latest dev yesterday and it's working as expected.

Thanks - just tried the Dev and indeed it is there, which leads me to the conclusion that it probably has something to do with Kali WSL2.
In my WSL I can select the 'Create Alert Filter...' option with the arrow down key and open it with enter.

But I cant see the option as all options after 'Limit Request Rate' are cut off even tough there is space above the menu.

Do you think this could be a problem on ZAPs end (e.g. how the lowest available point is determined) or a more general problem with WSL GUI applications? (ZAPs is the first time I noticed an issue like that)
