This bug report is in response to the comment by cmaynard in
http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/23823/manually-resolve-hostnames-not-working

When using the "Manually Resolve Address" feature, the arbitrary string I enter
for the selected address does not appear in the trace unless I also enable the
"Enable network name resolution" checkbox. The OK button is disabled until that
checkbox is enabled. But by enabling the checkbox, Wireshark also resolves all
IP addresses in the trace. I would like to request that these two features be
separated so I can apply an arbitrary string to any selected IP address,
without being forced to resolve all other addresses in the trace.

Bug was also reproduced in 1.10.1.

Steps to reproduce:
- load any .pcap file.
- right-click on an unresolved IP address.
- select "Manually Resolve Address".
- enter name for address.
- "OK" button is disabled until the "Enable network name resolution" checkbox
is enabled.
