If it is a bug, then it is not in the UI, but rather in the dissection engine.

when you look for "gtpv2.sequence_number" in
epan/dissectors/packet-gtpv2.c then you can notice it is marked as
FT_UINT32. Changing it to FT_UINT24 would solve the issue you are
observing. Can you submit a patch to Wireshark gerrit?
