Compass: "Report a bug" feature is itself broken. Also autocomplete is not usable.
Going to help -> Report a Bug redirects me to this page: https://jira.mongodb.org/projects/COMPASS/summary
Which shows a licensing error and does not let me report a bug. The irony, it burns. The error message is:
This gadget cannot be displayed on your dashboard. This could be due to a licensing problem or an application error. If you need this gadget, contact your administrator for assistance. Otherwise, you can remove it from your dashboard.
Also, the new feature that shows old queries is incredibly intrusive, and constantly replaces what I'm trying to type with something old and wrong. I am not always trying to use a previous query, I should not have to hit "escape" before I execute every query in order to get it to just execute the query I wrote.

Like other users here, I find this feature frustrating. It is leading me and other developers to submit random queries which we had not intended to. I can see a lot of effort went into it. Yet it's purpose is beyond me. Please let us toggle off this feature.

In Compass version 1.43.3, we released some improvements to autocomplete that should make the suggestions more relevant and less noisy. Do you find the feature to be more helpful now? Please let us know if you have more feedback.

Thanks for creating this. The autocomplete is showing too often for the query history at the moment. We have a fix already in https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/COMPASS-8241 which is going to be in a release coming soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Also thanks for the callout on the bug report page. -

Autocomplete is completely unusable, please allow us to disable this.

Since the last update, autocomplete is far too intrusive. I'd prefer it to be triggered by tab and not by enter. It replaces my queries several times a day, which is really very annoying!
