I have encountered a bug... and I'm not sure if anybody else is having it. But boy oh boy is it ever frustrating.

It doesn't happen every time... I'd say 9.5 times out of 10, which is often enough. In any case, the description of the bug is as follows:

If I approach a star gate in order to jump to another system, everything seems fine. I have my autopilot off, and manually jump. After I get to the other system, however, I am not cloaked. Instead, I find myself already in warp. There is no normal 'spooling up' period where my ship goes from normal engines to warp engines. I jump and find myself already immediately in warp. And, as far as I can tell, not in warp to any particular destination, just warping. Every once in a while I will jump properly, and end up cloaked at the destination star system, but far, far more often than not I will wind up in warp. This is frustrating to no end.
