In the function proto_register_foo(void) I register the protocol using the
line;
proto_foo = proto_register_protocol("Top level text for foo","foo", "foo");
I notice you say lineS, am I missing something?
The thing is the dissector is called and the all the other fields are
visible in the 'expressions' dialog so it looks as if the registration
worked, but there is something not quite right.
Thanks for looking at this

What lines are you using to register the protocol?
