Yes I have found another absolutely useless bug that no one on earth will ever come across, but still look at it:
Open up desmos
Type a = 1
Type normaldist() into the min, max, or step of the slider for no reason whatsoever
Nice your slider is now unrecoverable!

Wait that is very interesting.
I think this is normal behavior for when an expression has an error. I often force an error by leading an expression with a backtick, `, so that line is ignored and I can test a different strategy.

You might be correct, but when you put other functions into those fields, the slider doesn’t disappear.
I was unclear. I was only referring to @port ’s observation that “a does not exist anymore”, not your original post.
