OS FreeBSD
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity Major

-v", or "tshark -v".
--
On my FreeBSD system wireshark first shows IPv6 address for interfaces for
which both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are assigned. When clicked, it changes to
IPv4.

I think for most people IPv4 addresses are still more familiar, so it is more
logical to start from them.

I suggest to either always start from IPv4, or have the user option "IP version
preference when both are available".
