Every time Wireshark version 1.9.0-SVN-44371 is started, "Ask for unsaved
capture files" reverts to checked and "Settings dialogs show a save button"
reverts to unchecked, even if those settings have previously been changed and
saved.

TO RE-CREATE:

Click on Edit Preferences. Uncheck "Ask for unsaved capture files." Check
"Settings dialogs show a save button." Click Apply. The Save button will
appear. Click Save, then click OK.

Shut down Wireshark and restart. Go back to Edit Preferences. The Save button
will be gone, "Ask for unsaved capture files" will again be checked, and
"Settings dialogs show a save button" will again be unchecked.
