Maybe you could provide a little more information about your particular setup? 
What version of Wireshark are you using?  Custom-compiled or off the shelf? 
What OS are you running it on?  Which columns specifically are you attempting to
add?  What other columns are present?  Perhaps it's data-dependent.  Do you have
a small capture file that you can post that exhibits this problem?  Perhaps it's
a corrupt preference file in one of the profiles.  Maybe you could post your
preference files?
