Bug description:

TCP two hexadecimal digits are highlighted in pane "packet bytes" when TCP
Header length field is selected. May be only one hexadecimal digit (4
bits) is the correct highlighted pattern. TCP flags field is also
affected. I think the bug is in ignoring the "reserved field" that is set
to zero.

Thank you for your work.

Sincerely.
