--
The display filter autocomplete doesn't list any dissectors after the first
period has been added to the display filter. This affects all protocols with a
period in their name (usually due to a subdissector of a protocol)
The reason I have this bug at such a high priority is the recent addition
(r52462) of "Wireshark application specific" filters that are all prefixed with
"_ws.". Internally the filters are registered as "protocols", but some ended
up with nonsensical names (for a protocol), which prompted the idea of the _ws.
prefix.
Typing "_ws" in the display filter will give you all of the "Wireshark
application specific", but as soon as the "." is typed, only the expert info
filters of those protocols are displayed. The "protocol" filters themselves do
work (and the display filter background is correctly green when only the
protocol name is present), but it's a bit confusing to go from a list
_ws.expert
_ws.lua
_ws.malformed
_ws.short
...
to
_ws.expert.group
_ws.expert.message
_ws.expert.severity
_ws.lua.error
_ws.malformed.dissector_bug
_ws.malformed.expert
_ws.malformed.reassembly
...
once the "." is included.
