Summary: "Bad" UAT entry can't be removed via the Wireshark GUI
??
Product: Wireshark

Status: NEW
Severity: Minor

It appears that a UAT entry with an error (at least for DLT_USER) can't be
removed via the UAT GUI.
Example:
1. Create a User DLT UAT entry specifying a protocol "xxx" (a plugin).
Exit Wireshark.
2. Remove the "xxx" plugin.
3. Restart Wireshark;
There will be a pop-up about a DLT load error: "can't find protocol".
4. So: go to DLT_USER pref to remove the table entry.
Surprise: there's no entry (because there was an error loading it ?).
Obviously this is a pathological case. Are other types of UAT field validations
handled in a similar manner (i.e., don't load the entry if the validation
fails) ?
If so, I could imagine there's other situations wherein a UAT entry becomes
invalid after it's created and thus needs to be edited/removed.
Does Wireshark need to be able to handle this type of situation ?
