    I had to read twice to realize you were referring to an insect! :laugh: Sorry, the debugger won't help with this one! :) Hopefully, it won't leave an anti-pattern! :laugh:

    Sounds like just the solution! :sigh: I don't see it right now, but it was still there a minute ago...

      had the same, an ant got in between the lcd and plastic (protective I guess) cover. figured it would find it's way out, next day still there, 2 days later sigh, still there ... so I figured try nudging it out: big mistake, dead ant stuck in not quite middle of the screen. ok, crack open the screen (and of course left burrs in the edge/crack where I pried off the front bezel). luckily plans to replace were already in place. anyway - moral of the story: if there's a bug in your screen don't poke at it.

      I tried squashing it (at the edge), but no matter how hard I push it won't die :wtf: Apparently there's quite some room between the screen and whatever's in front of it...

        I tried to smoke it out, but my monitor got overheated so I put it in the freezer, but now my monitor won't work anymore... :( (I actually know someone who did that with his phone because a friend said the microwave would charge it faster or something like that :laugh: )

            An ACTUAL bug INSIDE my monitor screen! Pretty freaking annoying and no way to get it out. Definitely one of the more serious bugs I've seen in my programming career :| Hopefully it will go away by itself...

                Well if it left anything behind you will at least know what type of bug it was. It would be a remn ant!

                        Wow. Working on a screen with a moving "bug" must either be very distracting, or really freaky. Imagine that running across your screen while you are coding high...

                          It's annoying as hell! Luckily it seems to have found it's way off my screen :D It's been there for a good few hours though.

                                We once had a customer that reported sporadic freezes and reboots. There did not seem to be any pattern to them and I was finally sent onsite to diagnose the problem. When I got there, I found a mouse nest inside the computer. One of those plates that cover the unused card slots on the back of the computer was missing and the critter was using that to get in and out. What makes this more amazing is that it was in a medical lab in a hospital!

                                        Wow, mice in a medical lab, who would've thunk it? :D Speaking of sporadic freezes and reboots... I once had a customer who printed some 100 invoices at the end of each day. Ever since we delivered that software they complained that the printer would stop after a couple of prints and they had to reprint about half of the invoices. Not always though, never during the day and sometimes at the end of the day, but other than that no pattern could be found. I checked the code, debugged, tested, despite not finding anything made it more fool proof, added additional logging... Nothing. I even went over there and everything worked fine during the entire day. And then a couple of days later I got that call again, not all the invoices were printed. The logging said the same, only x out of y invoices printed. So one day my manager was there at around the time of the printing and he decided to just walk in unannounced and uninvited. He soon found out the problem... They'd press the print button for 100 invoices and then turned off their computers... :wtf: No one there ever thought it could have anything to do with it :doh:
