software glitch
Program's temporary malfunction
A software glitch is a minor, often temporary malfunction in a computer program—something that causes unexpected behavior without being a fundamental flaw: The app crashed due to a glitch, Must be a glitch in the system.
Glitches are typically quirky rather than catastrophic, distinguished from bugs by their fleeting or intermittent nature.
The term implies something fixable, often by restarting or updating.
