Wireshark Experts,
Is there a way to resize the fields (1st one, described below) in wireshark where it displays the summary information. (This exists at the very bottom of the Wireshark UI)

Example: it shows the following

Time to live (ip.ttl), 1 byte   <------ Is there a way to increase the size of this field
Packets: 451 Displayed: 3 Marked: 0 Dropped:0
Profile: Default

Any advice?

Thanks,
Sean
