I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but I've encountered the problems again today.
I noticed that research limpets can collect a sample from a Thargoid, then return to my ship and self-destruct on arrival, leaving nothing in the cargo hold. "Have we still got this old bug?" I thought. "It's bound to be in the Issue Tracker, I might as well go and confirm it."
The search option is horrible. It takes a long time, then shows a list of possibly relevant existing issues. Clicking on one shows that it's "expired", and to look at one of the others I have to do the search again from scratch.
As far as I can tell, many people have reported this bug but all their reports are "expired".
So I could log a new issue? No: I now have no confidence that FD will take any notice. This game is even less likely to succeed than firing research limpets at Thargoids.
FD, if you want players to report bugs, you need to make the process work better. OK, that's a big "if".
