I have the same problem and this is really embarassing! Firefox stalls when
typing an ip address filter in the display filter.
Network name resolution in Wireshark is DISABLED
But I can see ARP requests for the DNS servers, so it tries anyway.

Reproduce it:
- connect network interface on a monitoring switchport (tx only, also called
SPAN port)
- network interface eth0.avah assigns 169.254.x.y auto address
- launch Wireshark as root
- do a capture
- type ip.addr==1.2.3.4 in the display filter bar (or try)
- when typing the first dot of the IP address, Wireshark freezes for a while

Not sure if this is a Wireshark or an Ubuntu bug, but it sure is annoying and
makes display filters useless.

Linux system is Ubuntu 7.10

Some more info.
