I would request some enhancements insofar as how Wireshark handles Columns in
the UI.

There are two items I have encountered thus far (but I am, at this time, a new
user to Wireshark):


1.  On the main capture screen, Wireshark does not remember column sizes.  It
always reverts back to its own defaults.  This hinders readability and requires
users to re-modify the column widths every time a new capture is started.  I
would recommend that Wireshark remember column sizes to alleviate this.

2.  On any of the "Statistics > Conversation List" windows, it's not possible
to change the column widths - even temporarily.  I would recommend that this be
changed to allow modifications, and that Wireshark remember the column widths
for any Conversation List windows that have been changed.
