I have the same issue on Debian 8, it is using 100% from one CPU core.
Wireshark stays idle, 100% of one core utilization. I hope it helps.

I did a quick gdb session, it goes in a loop:

1380        if (!dfilter.isEmpty())
(gdb) next
1382        if (!cf_name.isEmpty()) {
(gdb) next
1403            if (start_capture) {
(gdb) next
1432            if (!start_capture &&
!global_capture_opts.default_options.cfilter) {
(gdb) next
1438        return wsApp->exec();
(gdb) next
