I guess I'm late to the party because I was on vacation, but what was the point of removing this feature?  Wireshark Gtk UI development is no longer active, so there's no reason to expect any new features to be added, but I wouldn't expect working, useful features to be removed either, especially when there's no Qt equivalent.
