OK, just so I'm clear (and please forgive me for not being), but assuming you
have added no comment for any interface, then:
The Captures -> Interfaces (Ctrl-I) lists interfaces by <description> only.
Are your two interface descriptions listed as follows (descriptions taken from
comment 3)?
Microsoft
Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
As you point out in comment 6, on the Captures -> Options (Ctrl-K) dialog, the
drop-down list of interfaces lists interfaces by <description>: <device>, so
are your two interfaces listed as follows?
Microsoft: \Device\NPF_{748EDE56-BE94-4875-B454-D00D51CA626A}
Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection:
\Device\NPF_{F909B6B1-9F94-479B-82F6-0465E7CB3350}

No, that's not correct. If there's no comment, then it uses "<description>:
<device>"

That's not a bug. See capture_ui_utils.c:build_capture_combo_list()
