Npcap: arp packet sent to myself cannot be responsed #116

Hello there,
I am using npcap for sending raw ethernet packets, but I've found there are some problems when I send an ARP response to myself. I ping a specific IP address in my computer and my computer send a broadcast arp request. And then I construct a fake arp response packet from my computer and send it to myself. I can see from wireshark that the packet has been sent but my computer seems not receiving that packet and are still sending arp requests. I have tried to send arp request from another computer and reply arp response from my computer, and it works. I do the same thing with winpcap and it works too.
Is this a bug or a feature that I cannot send packet to myself? Are there any solution?
My npcap version is 0.99-r7 and my os is win10 build 10.0.17134.320
Thanks a lot.
