Bug Description
Wireshark does not correctly refresh the UI. It appears as though it does not know what parts of the UI have been dirtied and need updating. In the attached screenshot this is seen with the text being cut off and only part of the status packet information being shown. However, this problem is demonstrated all through the wireshark UI. Anything that causes a full refresh fixes this issue. For example, just taking the screen shot, which causes the whole screen to flash, corrects the issue. Wiggling the wireshark window with the mouse also fixes any corruption until the next required UI update for, e.g., a new packet.

After a reboot it works correctly. My uptime was 8 days so this may be related to the general UI corruption I start seeing in Unity after several does without a reboot.
