MechJeb2 pulsing instead of steady thrust during manuever

[maddog59]

So MechJeb2 has suddenly started misbehaving for one of my craft for some reason. I've taken this same ship to the mun and back a couple of times, nothing different on this visit, but any maneuver I try (match plane with target, circularize, match velocity) I get the same result: it sets up for the maneuver as normal, but instead of steady thrust, it 'pulses' the engine. The maneuver point keeps jumping around the navball, it moves to it, pulses and jumps, pulses and jumps, and the everything goes to hell. I've rebooted my computer without success. 

I'm in the middle of a career game, so this is especially frustrating. Any suggestions would be appreciated (pics below; sorry, I don't know how to create a video and upload it).

Ok, it's official - I'm an idiot. 

I'd forgotten that I'd change the control point to the ventral docking port (visible in the pictures), so when it tried to execute the maneuver it was firing the engine at 90 degrees to the direction I wanted to go. 

Geez. 

So now what I want to know is: 

1) how to make a video of what's going on in KSP (I know about Fn-F1 for a snapshot)

2) where to post the video and how to upload it to KSP

3) how to type the 'degree' symbol

1) I use OBS Studio or the Windows 10 Game Bar

2) Upload the video to Youtube, then post a link in the forum. It should embed the video automatically. I don't know if the forum recognizes other sites or self-hosted videos.

3) here are a few for you to copy&paste °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
