Not a joke, but many years ago I recall a bug report coming in from a tester.

Along lines of Steps to replicate:Enter '43' in the first field and press enter. Return to previous screen. Enter '43' again. Then clear field. Enter 43 and clear field three times further. Then enter 43 and press enter to go to next screen. Then return to previous screen.Refresh screen and field will be populated with'43'.

The coder closed it with resolution 'Don't do that'.
