BUG REPORT - vSphere web client on 6.5, two issues - TypeError is back and -ve memory limit

This bug is coming up intermittently in various operations - notably changing VM settings - in both Firefox & MS Edge and forces a reload of the client but doesn't save the change I was making, which renders the client useless in some aspects.

Example - tried to edit VM settings (remove a disk) and it failed...

Cause: TypeError: Object doesn't support this action

I see a similar report in the KB for vSphere 6.0, allegedly fixed in 6.0u3, but not quite the same.

Also, the client is showing a memory limit of a negative number for a couple of VMs, which it says is invalid.  Those VMs were upgraded from v5.5 to v6.5 format.  If I remove the value and try to save, generally I get the TypeError above and the change is not saved.

Is there a formal way to submit a bug report?  The VMWare support site doesn't seem to want me to raise tickets, presumably because I'm using the free ESXI / vSphere product, but that would be daft if it means I can't pass on useful stuff like bug reports.
