Can you be more specific about what you did?

i just put this square: "█" in the host adress-tag. but very often (████....) and then i it just happened.

F1, ui_scale 100 to fix it for yourself btw. Will be fixed in the next client version.

thank you deen :)
can you explain what happened? Because i cant see a connection between this bar and the ui_scale o.O

You found a buffer overflow in the implementation of the paste feature. So your text ended up overwriting the default ui_scale value.
