What's the weirdest bug in a program you found in a project you didn't write? (programming.dev)

I thought of this after a recent bug I found. I use Vivaldi browser and recently it updated. After the update my mouse cursor was not visible when within the browser window. Other programs worked fine. I tried visual studio and steam and epic game store all had my mouse, Vivaldi didn't.

I closed all instances of Vivaldi via task nanager(was unable to click the x) and restarted it. That fixed the bug and I haven't been able to replicate so I don't have anything to submit for a bug report. Just a really strange thing.

What have been your weirdest bugs?

Why did you have multiple copies of the same song and artist? Only reason I can think of is like jam band concert versions but i would assume it would be like artist - song - year. Mp3 in that case

I have shitty music taste, and ended up downloading nightcore songs from YouTube. And the videos were usually named "Nightcore - song title". So chances of duplicate songs end up a lot higher when the only unique thing is the title of the song...

Ah ok that makes sense
