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?

I use a 3D CAD software that once you switch to 3D mode, it makes things partially transparent, but it does so by scaling the opacity of the entire window. The end result is that transparent parts look correct when you have a black desktop background, but otherwise you'll see what's on the window behind it or the desktop background. Same issue when you get gaps between two sides or curves. I think no one noticed because they would usually launch it from a terminal, so they always had black backgrounds.
