Since some time I have the problem that the character set of the display filter
is too big, so that it's not really usable. It consumes too much space of the
input window. The dropdown list is using the correct character set.
At the beginning I thought that this is caused by my private build environment
but in the meantime I have more information’s.
With wireshark 0.99.5 it was OK.
I see the same bad behavior with the newer builds from the build bot like
wireshark-setup-0.99.7-SVN-22183.
If the newer version is installed fresh then it works until the next start of
wireshark. I found out that this is related to the presence of the "recent"
file in the "Personal configuration" directory. If there is no "recent" file
the codec is the same in the dropdown list and the input line. When a "recent"
file is present then we have two different character sets used for dropdown
(correct) and filter input line (to large).
I tried to use the Gtk+ 2.10.13 instead of the 2.10.12 as it's used by
wireshark but this didn't helped.
Somehow a different character set is selected, depending on presence of
"recent" file or not.
