If you apply expert.severity field as column, Wireshark crashes after applying
the change.

Moreover, since the change has already been saved on preferences file, next
time you start Wireshark and open a capture Wireshark will crash again. To fix
the problem, you have to manually remove the column from preferences file.


How to replicate the issue:
1. Open a trace file
2. Open Preferences dialog
3. User Interfaces -> Columns
4. Add a new column
5. Set type: Custom
6. Set name: expert.severity
7. OK


Result:
Wireshark will crash. Since preferences file already defines:

   column.format: 
      ...
      "New Column", "%Cus:expert.severity:0:R"

next time you open a capture Wireshark will crash again.
