Comment # 3 on bug 8469 from
Bug is reproduced when accessing Preferences Dialog before QtShark start-up is
finished, specifically before preferences loading is completed which comes very
late in the initialization process.

Given the fact my QtShark build currently has a significantly slower start-up
process than GTK version(Anyone can tell me why?), it is not improbable that
the user will access the features yet to be loaded. This is likely to cause
problems like this bug: e.g. if you type anything in the display filter during
initialization QtShark would crash instantly.

Should we consider presenting a modal dialog for loading process in QtShark,
just like GTK version did? 

I have made a patch for this bug.

Environment: Windows 7 x64, Wireshark 1.11.0 (SVN Rev 49182 from /trunk)
