I've set up a platform that does the loop between Vulcanus -> Fulgora -> Nauvis -> Vulcanus, and while it seems to work fine, several times I have been seriously confused by travel indicators seemingly listing random planets that do not correspond at all.
In this image, the platform is traveling between Vulcanus -> Fulgora, however the left side of the UI lists the trip as Vulcanus -> Nauvis, and the right side lists it as Nauvis -> Fulgora, both of which being wrong.
I expected this to list Vulcanus -> Fulgora, and Vulcanus [ ====>--distance----- ] Fulgora on both sides
The platform does arrive at the correct planet in the end, and is correctly following the instructions in it, but it has been seriously confusing to open the map and see it claim make trips it's not programmed to make.
This bug appears to happen no matter if the platform is left up to it's automatic flight program, or if I manually click on a planet for it to go to. I think it's inconsistent though, not happening on every trip it seems, but it's still pretty frequent. I also seem to be able to force trigger it by telling it to fly to one planet, and then immediately telling it to fly to a different planet, which usually leads to at least one of the two UI elements communicating the trip to be correct.
For completeness, this is the programming it was following for the earlier screenshot:
The earlier screenshot was taken while it was going from Vulcanus to Fulgora, and Nauvis is not an intermediate stop.

Re: [2.0.20-3] Space Platform planet travel information depicts wrong planets in both views
it doesnt update until you click on a different planet, fairly certain this is known by the devs and this has probably already been reported
