Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Display filter syntax check is broken in 1.2.0

Hi.

The display filter syntax check is broken in 1.2.0.  Try writing "tcp
f" in both 1.0.8 and 1.2.0.
In 1.0.8 this is marked as invalid, but in 1.2.0 it's valid.  It seems
like all trailing (bogus) data is ignored.

Does anyone know what happened?
I did not find any relevant changes in epan/dfilter/ between 1.0.8 and 1.2.0.
