Even worse. I found myself in situations where I cleared the middle section of one gate and, without any movement on my part at all, hit the next gate even though it also had an open middle section. This happened to me twice with a gate at the top of a ramp.

I'm confident that I didn't move the ship because I used the arrow keys and positioned myself well before reaching the first gate. I was close enough to missing the opening that I would understand hitting the first gate, but hitting the second gate is uniquely frustrating.
