If you place a Display Panel ghost and start typing in it, but don't confirm what you have written yet, a construction bot arriving and placing it will cause the message you are in the middle of writing to be erased.
See the attached video.
I would not be surprised if this also happened with combinator descriptions, but I didn't test that.
