I opened https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7377
a while ago but except for one person who added a "me too" nothing
happend. This problem basically makes the GTK3 version unuseable on
my system.

!(me too)

I just rebuilt Wireshark from the SVN trunk using GTK3 and the
statusbar looks normal. My build information is below -- it's still GTK 3.0.12
from FreeBSD ports. Maybe the problem comes from newer GTK versions? You
listed 3.2 and the next person was 3.5.

My GTK3 Wireshark definitely shows the problem.

I'm in the midst of digging into the issue.
