Describe your issue

Opening a normal tab, then adding the same channel to the Watching tab, with a filter enabled creates a unclickable, unremovable black box at the bottom of chat.

Chatterino commit c391ff97.

Issue has been observed on Qt 6.7.0 and Qt 6.5.2 which was downloaded with the provided vcpkg.json file.

Im not entirely sure which commit made this occure. I previously used a build from a few months ago and just recently updated my build which is when this issue occured.

From my extensive testing, i've narrowed the issue down to having a semi large regex as a filter.

For example i used (message.content match r"^(?!.*(?:my|complex|(re.*x))).*$").

And every time i reloaded the Watching tab the issue would appear. Disabling filters or using something simpler as an empty regex or just message.length > 0 made this issue never appear.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a regex, for example (message.content match r"^(?!.*(?:my|complex|(re.*x))).*$")
2. Create a tab with a live channel. (Issue wasn't observed on a offline chat).
3. Create a Watching tab and apply the filter you created in step 1.
4. Make the Watching tab open any random chat. Just not the one from step 2.
5. Open the chat from step 2 in the Watching tab.
6. The box should show up.
