It's been 4 years and this bug still exists.
Well, it's one of Bioware's biggest flaws: They usually treat their offline games (but even the MMO-like Anthem got a comparable treatment) after a few months of the last DLC release (or roughly half a year after the original release in case there was no story DLC) like they unquestionably reached absolute perfection and it's only logical to stop supporting them with patches ("don't fix that's not broken" style). It's like they hate touching anything as soon as all critical issues are considered fixed in the first few patches and/or there is no further DLC on the table. The project is magically buried under a salt mountain.
I don't see why they can't leave a minimal "skeleton crew" on their projects for another half a year or even longer that scrubs through all the open issues and slowly works out a few patches to fix the lingering small glitches and annoyances (or even add some new technical features like a menu option to disable motion blur after they realized their mistake and added this menu option to their next game, etc). They are not a Kickstarter project that got dismantled a few months after release. They could even outsource this, I guess (or "make interns do it", etc).
It's even more funny that (as much as I know) they outsourced Mass Effect - Legendary Edition and that crew didn't fix the old bugs either. As an example, the Legendary Edition still includes some old game-breaking bugs in the main questline of ME1 (bright yellow screen freeze of death during the last battle if you happen to use certain abilities).
This is even more ridiculous in the age of sites/communities like Fandom Wikia where all you have to do is go through the mission/task pages and read the confirmed bugs at the bottom of the page in the dedicated bugs section (or read the topics here that have several pages - so probably not isolated cases). Some other studios are on the other edge of crazy, seemingly never letting go of any of their old titles (like already "enhanced editions" getting remade after a decade, etc).
Ah, by the way, I got here because Movie Night randomly disappeared from my journal after "The Journey to Meridian" (NG+).
Although it's both funny and shameful how this is the single longest and most demanding quest-arch in Andromeda. :D
Edit: I spoke with Jaal several times and the quest is now back in the journal with his bit open but no other history preserved. Let's see...
