All you need to reproduce is to click tab "New Session". No more.

I have a multi-tab WinSCP session active all the time. I leave it "running" even when I am not using it for long periods of time, so it lasts through many daily *hibernations* of Windows (11), in this case it was at least two weeks. The only unusual aspect of this issue is that it occurred (well) after Windows started bugging me about restarting in order to set some pending Windows updates. I still hadn't done the updating when this happened. I think it's just a one-hit wonder.

I know how to reproduce the problem or the problem happens frequently enough. I wish to be contacted by the WinSCP team to help resolving the problem.
