Updated by I was having a similar issue to this when I was attempting to rendezvous with Gilly (in my planetary encounter bug post). This flickering disappeared after I restarted my game client and uninstalled camera tools, so I attributed the problem to the mod, but it could have equally been a bug that disappeared on a restart.

MistyShadows I used the quicksave from your bug report to show more information and zeroing out the inclination
Video shows this happening without a maneuver node and constant spam in the console (look to the new log file for this one

Note The problem went away on reloading it on a quicksave (which is attached)
It can be made to do it again by changing inclination a little bit

Very interesting. There is definitely a problem with the closest approach indicator. In the second video (using my save) it seems to really like (or hate) ascending and descending nodes which is to be expected since in this particular case, this is where the intersection would occur, but it is interesting that this ties into inclination change triggering the problem. Though in your original video, it doesn't seem linked to ascending and descending nodes. I'm not sure how useful these observations are.

At a zero inclination theres just more points of contact for the bug to show itself I think.
More information for this issue will hopefully show the powers that be where to focus

- Subject changed from Encounter Icons are flickering all over the place and giving false positives when manipulating maneuver nodes to Encounters and Encounter Icons are flickering all over the place and giving false positives (maneuvers and in flight)
Shows this is much worse than the icons
