I've implemented it this way in the progress bar, as that were the place
to fix it,
it will now cut the displayed string to about 100 characters and append
"..." in this case.

When working on this, I've noticed a similar problem in the summary dialog,
as it's becoming wider and wider with the display filter string growing.

Fixed this, it will now split the filter strings in chunks of 100
characters and put the chunks in a seperate row.


There might be other places in the GUI with problems of very large
display filter strings.

Please let me know if you find any such place in the GUI.
