I would like to be able to highlight or select one byte at a time in the packet
bytes panel.

Let's say that I'm looking at a capture of a HTTP packet. If I let my mouse
cursor hover the hex dump in the packet bytes panel, entire sections of bytes
are selected or highlighted at the same time. For example, if I put my mouse
cursor over the section belonging to a single HTTP header, the entire header is
highlighted.

How do I turn this behaviour off? I would like to only highlight a single byte
at a time, as this is much more useful for debugging non-ASCII encodings.

It looks to me that this is not possible at the moment, hence this feature
request.
