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?

    OPAM (OCaml’s package manager) had a bug where it couldn’t find curl or wget to download stuff with (don’t ask me why it shelled out to those in the first place) if you were in more than 32 Unix groups. Have fun thinking of a reasonable explanation for that!

      I’ll hazard a guess… OPAM was using a text-based utility to get the list of groups, and 33 is the point where the list would wrap to a new line.

      Why are you in 32 unix groups?
