When the Expert Info dialog is opened, the "Count" column is many times wider
than is needed, even for listing counts into the hundreds of thousands of
packets. Consequently, the "Summary" column is much narrower than it could be,
resulting in information being cut off. See the attachment "Expert Info
Current.jpg" for an screen shot of the initial column widths. I find myself
having to adjust the column widths very often after opening the Expert Info
dialog.

It would help avoid having to adjust the column widths so often if the Expert
Info dialog would open with the Count column much narrower and the Summary
column much wider. See the attachment "Expert Info Proposed.jpg" for more
reasonable starting column widths. In this case, the division between the Count
column and the Summary column has been slid as far to the right as possible
without opening a horizontal scroll bar.
