How to remove columns type/fields from “Packet List” columns header right click pop-up menu?

Hi there,

On the latest version of Wireshark (3.2.0), when I right click on the “Packet List” columns header, the pop-up menu with the list of defined columns available to display shows also the columns type/fields on the right of the column title, whereas before only the columns title was displayed, as seen here.

This results on columns list pop-up menu being unusable for quick selection of columns in my case, as I have many defined, some of which with many fields.

Is this the new standard behavior after some software change or could it be a bug? If it is standard behavior is this possible to change back to previous one? I couldn't find any config parameter...

Thank you, Vítor.
