Unable to add the server normally

When clicking "Add Server", input fields such as Server address and Server name cannot be edited normally.
the bug still in 1.18.16
Description
In Desktop → Settings → Server → Servers → "Add server", the dialog has 4 fields:
Server address, Server name (optional), Username (optional), Password (optional).

Only Server address is actually editable. The other three are stuck showing their
placeholder text and cannot be typed into, no matter how they're focused.

Steps to reproduce
Open Desktop → Settings → Server → Servers → "+ Add server" → "Add server"
Click into "Server address", type a URL — works fine, text appears.
Click into "Server name (optional)", type any text — nothing appears, field still shows
the "Localhost" placeholder.
Click into "Username (optional)", type text — same issue. (Slightly confusing to spot
because the placeholder example text is literally "opencode", so it can look like it
accepted input at a glance — it didn't.)
Triple-click to select-all in "Username", type replacement text — still doesn't change,
confirming the field isn't accepting input at all, not just failing to clear first.
Click into "Password (optional)", type text — same issue, placeholder "password" never
goes away.
Impact
Makes it impossible to add a remote server that needs a name, username, or password —
e.g. connecting to a self-hosted opencode serve instance on a VPS protected by basic auth.
Only unauthenticated / unnamed servers can be added through this dialog at all.

Environment
OpenCode Desktop v1.18.16, Windows

I was experiencing the same issue.

I edited %APPDATA%\ai.opencode.desktop\opencode.global.dat and added

{\"type\":\"http\",\"displayName\":\"https://opencode.example.com\",\"http\":{\"url\":\"https://opencode.example.com\",\"username\":\"opencode\",\"password\":\"password\"}}

to server.list in the JSON file.
