Broken docking computer?

I was recently on a small mining expedition at Ra, and I thought i'd go to sell my hard earned cargo. As I approached the station at Ra, I turned on my docking computer and went over to do something else (IRC, as it happens). I happened to glance left as the system announced final clearance for docking, only to crash my ship straight into the navigation bouy! Has anyone else ever seen this happen?

It may happen. As far as I know Docking Computer is not afraid of any obstacle on his way. It's safer to use SHIFT+d

The docking computer may not act as we would like sometimes (see
this thread for my experience).
Don't take this as gospel but I think Giles may be looking at this, anyway, I always use speed docking (shift+D) nowadays!

No, I am not that patient; I just want to buy fuel, jump to another system and kill again

Sometimes I play just to relax and de-stress, hence my love of mining. If I can just find it again, there's a mining asteroid near Ra where I can spend a couple of hours just blowing rocks up and collecting the bits. Tres relaxing.
