1.11.0 orientation issue

I'm trying to rendezvous with another craft. Launch goes fine, I end up a couple of km behind my target, before circularization. My pilot is only level 1, but can point prograde/retrograde, and can hold the current orientation. When I click on the prograde widget, my ship is now oriented about 45 degrees towards radial out, from retrograde, no where NEAR the prograde marker. I think this is related to setting the other ship as a target. rather than giving me a target marker on the nav ball, it switches to the prograde/retrograde markers. Also the normal/anti-normal markers go away. 

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Bug with a mod, or with the game?

Not a bug- if you set the navball to target mode it will display your vector relative to the target- this moves the prograde/retrograde markers to show what direction you’re going relative to that object, not whatever you’re orbiting.

Although it’s hard to be entirely sure from your description, can you post a screenshot(s)?

That sounds like it, but why not just use the target/anti-target markers?

EDIT: That IS the issue...I still don't know why they don't just use the target/anti-target markers.

That points you directly towards or away from the target, not in the direction they’re going.
