So, our software's reporting component was updated recently

Maybe it'd be less bu-
Oh.

You know what's amazing is someone looked at that and said:
Ok guys. This is good. Ship it.

What am I looking at here?

A watermelon
Or a dialog with no text

It's like one of those stealth-malware installers. They give you a "no thanks" option, but good luck spotting it.
-
In this case though, the number of buttons is correct. It's just the previous version actually deigned to tell you the report saved successfully

That's what we in the reading business call, "Useful context."

I see an OK button and a cancel button. What's the problem?

Still trying to parse "deigned to tell you"

Yeah, I know what it means, but it's a weird construct of the English language. It seems to be more of an adjective than a verb.

We updated that same reporting software too not long ago. Their text boxes have a property you can set so they do some primitive HTML parsing, e.g. you can use <b> to make text bold and a few other things but not a lot (IIRC you can make line breaks with <br> and <br/> but not with <br />).
Their newest version added support for <span style="color: whatever;">. Unfortunately it doesn't recognize the end tag of the span and the remainder of the text box content will stay whatever colored. Our fix?
text = text.Replace("</span>", "</span><span style="color: black;"></span>")
Also random Error 12's while saving reports.

It's a perfectly cromulent word, and I use it all the time.

It's a perfectly cromuhanzo by blakey.
