Actually they are 2 different things. An "undissected" byte is a byte
claimed by a protocol, but not actually dissected. This is the case of a
text prootocol where CR/LF are part of the claimed bytes, but they're not
dissected by a specific proto_add_something(). Clinking on one of them will
bring you to the "parent" protocol (VoIP for example).

Another thing is "unclaimed" bytes. They are bytes that have not been
claimed by any dissector. Clicking on one of them will not bring to
anything. I'm working on this feature now.
