Comment # 8 on bug 11547 from 
> I'm not sure I see any advantage to be able to highlight a number of arbitrary bytes in the packet bytes pane.  How does this help you in your task?

Let's say there's some ASCII text, followed by some multi-byte UTF-8
characters. If I want to find the value for the first non-ASCII character, I
have to look at the hexidecimal values on the left, and find the first one
which is greater than 7f. It would be much more convenient if I could simply
select the "." on the right hand side (easily found as the first non-legible
character), and have the corresponding byte be highlighted on the left.

The suggestions of João Valverde would suit me great.
