Overview: 
The (very useful) feature "Apply as Column" is significantly derogated when
used on the field "Coloring Rule name".

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) load any file or start capture.
2) make sure >=1 coloring rule is in place, e.g.
   "tcp" -- grey
   "ssl" -- orange
3) select any frame
4) in Packet Details pane, select "Frame"->"Coloring Rule name"->right
click->"Apply as Column".
5) scroll the Packet Overview pane.
6) observe "Coloring Rule Name" column.

Actual Results: 
Only for a number of packets, the field value is shown correctly in the
respective column. When scrolling to reveal packets not yet visible, the column
is empty.
See attached video "wireshark-coloring-rule-column-fail.mov".

Expected Results: 
Should work just as smooth and stable with "Coloring Rule name" as it does with
other fields (e.g. Call-ID in a SIP call).

Additional Builds and Platforms: 
Also seen on 1.8.6 on WinXP SP33. Probably present in all recent version.

Additional Information:
- reloading the file omits even the previously shown field values. Removing and
re-applying the column then restores behavior described above.
