Description

The navball incorrectly shows the target of a radial docking port. The attached screenshot clearly shows the bug.

In the screenshot, the 2 tankers are oriented nearly parallel and are of identical construction; each has 4 docking ports -- 3 radial (one is hidden) and 1 axial. The green circle identifies the current target port (evidenced by the "unset" dialog), and the blue circle identifies the controlled-from port. Notice though, that there is no other port that could show a valid target position shown on the navball. The arrows show the direction normal to the docking ports.

I attached another example showing 2 axial* mounted docking ports where the navball has "randomly" selected a different docking port as the controlled-from. In the screenshot, the green circle indicates the targeted port, the blue circle indicates the user selected controlled-from port, and the red circle indicates the port that KSP seems to actually be using as the controlled-from port.

*axial to parallel to the axis of the ship. The ports are actually centered between 4 tanks, mounted via scaffolding.
