Since mobile bubbles and heavy interdictor bubbles can, in effect, create a situational gravity well and pull targets off of jump gates could we please get this effect mentioned in their respective flavor texts as well as have the range(s) of these effects included in the item info?
At the very least the flavor texts need a, "Warning, use of this device may pull ships out of warp past their intended breakout location." message included.
Finding out the hard way that this happens, twice, with rookie ship scouts in 0.0 is annoying, especially when the GM tells you it isn't a bug.

There is no 'gravity well', please re-read the backstory articles and try again.

Well now, there's one small problem, that would be completely impossible. You need to have read something in order to re-read it. Care to provide links so that I can read these articles you refer to?
Also, do these articles explain why this effect isn't in the description of the associated modules? It's a wee bit stupid to have module side-effects not listed in the module information pages.

You are out of luck
There are thousands of other item types that deserve good descriptions of what they're doing too
Some are just hillarious: "40% bonus to signature radius"... oh really? a bonus? why thanks!

What interdiction bubbles (anchored, ship-mounted, or launched) do is not at all gravitational, it's a field effect.
Firstly, it disrupts the frequency construct of all ships within its radius so that they cannot build a warp field around themselves.
Secondly its field 'warps' navigational beaconing used by the celestial object they are in proximity to, pulling the navigational pinpoint to itself rather than the object they originally intended to approach. This is defined as a line from the vessel initiating warp through its target object. If this navigational path intersects the bubble their fix is flawed and they are directed instead to the anchor point of the bubble. Obviously, approaching tangentially to the bubble allows a proper fix on the intended navigational object.
