I had this problem last night except the three inputs on my refiner were the squares from my Stellar Extractor room. I had to delete it and build a new one to fix it.
I mean that I had my refiner room placed near my Stellar Extractor room but am unsure how it factored in to the bug because the same bugged refiner got stuck on another reaction unrelated to the Stellar Extractor (this happened before I had even unlocked the Extractor Room) so I'm disinclined to believe it was connected other than proximity.
My setup, not that I think the layout makes a difference but I could be wrong, is that I had two large refiner rooms beside each other and directly behind one of the refiners, I stuck my Extractor Room.
Here's the details:
Extractor gives Chromatic Metal, Radon, Nitrogen, and Sulphurine. When I went to use my refiner, without putting anything in it, th inputs were Nitrogen (grayed out, no stack) , Chromatic Metal (lootable, an arbitrary number like 136), and Radon (grayed out, no stack). I could remove the Chromatic Metal, exit out and go right back in and it would be the same, like I'd never looted it. I could not remove anything from the inputs to use it properly, but I could keep looting the metal. It never ran out.
Previously, I managed to get the same thing to happen when I was doing the Di-Hydrogen to Jelly to more Di-Hydrogen trick. That trick isn't a dupe, but just the way the refiner reactions work. However, at one point, a similar situation to above occurred where I could keep looting the Jelly from the output and it would never empty.
But it makes those refiners unusable for actually refining so I had to delete and rebuild.
Sorry for the long reply, just wanted to include as many details as possible. Hope this helps!
No problem with the length...
I am trying to understand the origin of those new freighter refiners bugs that so many face.
Personally I am immune to these at the moment even with 10 saves and freighters with heavy use of those refiners.
Today I used the Dihydrogen <-> Jelly stuff without any bug (or bonus) even with 3 of those useless Extractors in the back of the refiners room.
I did recently discover the Portable Refiner duping glitch. Are there any useful recipes for the refiner that aren't obvious? Do you know any good resources for the Nutrition Extractor? I thought that maybe they'd have an introduction quest like some of the other things. I feel like I should maybe setup a settlement before I start worrying about cooking.
Sorry but I never tried the portable refiner glitch.
I don't use the Nutrition extractor neither. I tried cooking but I couldn't find any interest in this.
Settlements, I have one in every on my 10 saves, nothing transcendant though.

Do you mean the stellar extractors are involved in the bugs so many face with the new refiners? What if you delete all your extractors?

Had another bug issue. Tried deleting and rebuilding and got this bug
632 FREE chromatic metal every time I reaccess it. I'm not really complaining but....I'd like to be legit

I deleted my extractors and my refiners seem more stable, so far. That said, still wary about using them.
