FW rules behavior

[michaelgo]

Hi,
WAN to LAN icmp rules test shows strange behavior -
when it's off (no ping allowed) the FW blocks, seen in the live view, then i enable the rule and when applied, the ping starts immediately.
However, if i start ping WAN to LAN and disable the rule (and apply) the ping continues, and only if i stop and start ping it's blocked.
did i miss something in the settings?
The rules are applied per interface.

floating rule icmp in/out behaves the same way.

Is this by design?
thanks

hi
didn't quite understand the description. but states are also created by pf for the ICMP. when pf reloads on Apply the state is not cleared. so a icmp.first timeout is required.
