Bug Description

Screensaver Preferences (XScreenSaver 5.42, 28-Dec-2018) shows two grayed-out items in the list of available screensavers. These are at the top of the list. They are named 14.0985 & 26.3163.

Clicking those items causes some errors, and a black screen. (Pressing any key gets back to the desktop).

I found this testing Lubuntu 20.04 daily image 2020-03-01. I saw it two days prior, but didn't report it.

Actually, there are greyed out entries all over the place, nearly all of which (except BSOD and WebCollage) do not correspond to hacks. They seem to relate to options or perhaps code variables, wth the two numerical ones perhaps being values of variables? Really strange, too, because the package hasn't changed since like Disco.

Changed in xscreensaver (Ubuntu):
