Bug #5229
Both inline docking ports are upside down
100%
Description
Reproduction steps:
1/ Enter VAB
2/ Choose a command pod
3/ Attach Inline Clamp-O-Tron or Mk2 Clamp-O-Tron to it
4/ Deploy the ship on launchpad
5/ Right-click the Clamp-O-Tron and choose Control from here
- observe the navball now shows ground on its upper half
6/ Switch camera to Locked mode
It gets very annoying to build a plane or rocket with this docking port, then to find I get to dock it engines up.
Another thing is that for comfortable docking, I have to install the docking port upside down (to fix its orientation) and set it as root part of the ship (due to bug that draws target indicator relative to root part rather than relative to selected control point). That however turns the lift indicator upside down and also messes with placement of parts such as wing segments.

Confirmed. Until you 'Control From Here' on the affected part, or make the affected part the root, this bug doesn't affect gameplay much. However, it makes things progressively more difficult when you change control to the affected part, or make it the root.
Seems similar to the bug in which the MPL seems to be upside down when EVAing Kerbals.
