It sounds like you're talking about the Follow TCP Stream dialog. Those numbers are the raw display of the values in the packets. Older versions were in ASCII format by default. When you switched to Raw, it saved in raw format, but still displayed as ASCII. The new interface switches both the save format and the display format.

Switch to Raw for saving, but switch back to ASCII (or hex or EBCDIC, whatever you want to see) for viewing.
