So I started from a 60-62 thousand kilometer high orbit, and then burned to my current orbit I am in now. And when I pressed the retrograde button and fast forwarded, it appears to not be in line with a similer direction to my orbit. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's because of my low orbit line quality which makes the orbit line very erratic and not smooth.

I've finally managed to reproduce this issue. It seems like sometimes, oh highly eccentric orbits the velocity vector is mirrored on the half of the orbit closer to the apoapsis. There's nothing in the logs pointing at any error.

Actually, it might be a render glitch as when i went out of map view, my craft was at retrograde

I believe this is because the velocity mode was set to surface and the orbit was so eccentric it had a very small orbital velocity and therefore the surface speed looked quite a bit different and unexpected.
