Running out of fuel

So, sometimes I run out of fuel and then just hang in space, with nothing happening and no storylet appearing for many minutes (8+; far more than it usually takes for the storylet to pop up) until I have to return to title screen and lose progress.

I assume this is not working as intended, and it’s more than a little annoying when it happens within 20 seconds of a port, with a hold full of supplies you can’t even try to burn (not to mention several searing enigmas and whatnot). Does anyone else get this problem? If so, did you figure out any solution, or am I simply missing some way to make the storylet appear?

Same happens for me, 5 seconds from port :(
