The feature that is now broken is that when a user is presented with a list of
items (usually a protocol list) then one only has to type the first few letters
of the protocol name to jump right to the protocol.  But now that the feature
is broken, only the first typed letter is accepted and the search gets stuck.

Areas that I know depend on this feature are:
- Edit > Preferences > Protocols
- Analyze > Display Filter
- Analyze > Enabled Protocols
- Analyze > Decode As

Perhaps there are other areas.

This feature used to work up to 0.99.7.  It has been broken in every version
from 0.99.8 to 1.0.6.  However, I just tried the development release 1.1.3 and
the feature works fine there.

Best regards,
Kenneth Coombes
