Hello,

today I accidentaly went into the HELP channel, and wanted to click the "Exit" button, my cursor went a bit lower and I minimized the game. After restoring it, two buttons appeared out of nothing:
- The host button (!) but hosting is rejected after trying it for fun :o
- "Display rankings" (?). After clicking it I got a screen filling empty list, probably. I was still hearing the chat clickering and leaving sounds in the background.

Here a screen, just for those who're curious:

---> GUI/Memory corruption as always when restoring the window whilst in the network screens? Those buttons were gone after leaving.

Lol.
That's what I got after quickly pressing Exit button, then minimizing the game:

And this after clicking on the #Help channel and then minimizing:

And then every channel was showing me its big copy, and without the text field or buttons:

This sort of corruption is known, and has been since WA came out. WA's frontend code is mostly a mess, which is at least part of the motivation for 4.0.
