"The Virtue of Persistence" vs "Banishing Light"

Several times an opponent has played "The Virtue of Persistence" and instead of going where I expect it to the card moves to the very top of the screen, barely visible.

I played "Banishing Light" and there were no other enchantments, creatures, artifacts etc, and yet it didn't auto-target "The Virtue of Persistence" and wouldn't allow me to target it manually.

I conceded the game immediately.
