[Linux] Packet bytes window doesn't show all ASCII-characters

Hi @ all.

I am using Wireshark for Windows and Linux (Kali). In my Linux-Version, the right side of the Packet Bytes Tab is cut off or something like that. The hex-values are shown correctly, but the 'translation' into ASCII, right to the hexdump, misses some characters. It makes no difference, whether I'm inspecting a pcap-file or when Wireshark performs a live packet capture. When I move the mouse over these unvisible ASCII-characters, the corresponding hex-values are highlighted, but the characters are not visible. Even the light grey dots (this is used, when the conversion from hex to ASCII isn't possible) do not show up. But the place of the character is outlined with a rectangle.

When I use Wireshark for Windows, this problem doesn't occur...

Unfortunately I can't upload a picture, because I am new registered here.

Edit: I found a picture with the same problem. https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/uploads/7aa341e396a5d42913db30b172f4878c/image.png
