Perhaps a bug; perhaps a case of user error.

General issue description:  My goal is to create several L7 profiles with
additional Packet List Columns specific to each protocol.  When I create the
new profile & use "Edit" -> "Edit Preferences" -> "Columns" to create
additional columns for that *specific* profile; I find that he column changes
(i.e. the preferences) are incorrectly loaded by the Default profile.

I think I was able to resolve this issue by removing the refereneces to the
custom columns in the C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\recent file.

For example:

I created a HTTP profile with the following additional column titles, by using
the Edit toolbar:  "Edit" -> "Edit Preferences" -> "Columns"

Here is a snippet of the new columns from the local HTTP profile preferences
file...  C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\profiles\HTTP\preferences>

# Packet list column format
# Each pair of strings consists of a column title and its format
gui.column.format: 
    "No.", "%m",
    "Time", "%t",
    "Source", "%s",
    "Destination", "%d",
    "Protocol", "%p",
    "http.user_agent", "%Cus:http.user_agent:0:R",
    "http.request.method", "%Cus:http.request.method:0:R",
    "http.host", "%Cus:http.host:0:R",
    "http.response.code", "%Cus:http.response.code:0:R",
    "http.request.uri", "%Cus:http.request.uri:0:R",
    "http.x_forwarded_for", "%Cus:http.x_forwarded_for:0:R",
    "http.referer", "%Cus:http.referer:0:R",
    "http.cache_control", "%Cus:http.cache_control:0:R",
    "Length", "%L",
    "Info", "%i"

All is fine when using the HTTP profile.  

However, if I switch to the Default profile, I would still see those columns in
the Packet List display.  As mentioned, when I remove the references to the new
columns from the "recent" file, all seems well.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

thanks,
-doug
