The excellent feature to add notes to packets inside Wireshark with the new
pcap-ng file format. Has a small drawback (since I sometimes tend to write long
annotations). 
And that's the "Edit and Add Packets Comments" box is to small when looking at
comments. 
Because a receiver of the capture might not now there is comments "hidden"
beneath the box border. It's of course easy to make the box larger, but it
would be great if there was a slider on the side (that usually indicates there
is more to read in the box). Or the box could be automatically larger (but
don't know how to stop it gets very large when lots of text is included).
