Hi,
I used to do this a few years ago, but I might be a bit rusty :) I have a plugin/dll dissector that I created and it works fine except I never get the column text to be modified.
Whatever the column.
I tried many different commands (you will see it in the code below).
Even tried to create my own col_set_str - called mcol_set_str

I found a bug that is an exact match of my problem

Did you, as mentioned in the bug, recompile your plugin against the source for the version of Wireshark you are running? (That is, plugins generally cannot be compiled against version X and run in version Y.)
