OK so this isn't (just) about "show packet in new window."

Does it display properly when there's no display filter?

If so, do you have some if(tree) checks in the code?  They're largely
unnecessary now.

Do you have some checks on whether your dissector writes to COL_PROTOCOL or
COL_INFO?  The code that updates those columns is what appears to not be
running in this case.

"Developed" or "compiled?"  If you mean "compiled" then, yes, it could quite
possibly have an effect.  Dissectors normally need to be compiled against the
major.minor version used.  But in the master (development) branch the API/ABI
changes regularly (and without notice) so it's really a good idea to keep it
freshly compiled.
