OK, so I got it to happen finally, right after I quicksaved. If it doesnt work the first time around, re-load and do it again until it happens.
here is an image of the line going from a smooth curve into a jagged edge. It happens around 75% into the auto burn, but I turned it off and slowly burned at around 65% so I could get this pic.

I encountered this visual bug this evening. I just got the game, so pardon me I am not familiar with the planet names. I was making a trip to the furthest planet, the Uranus analog I believe. I was very low on fuel so had to attempt an aero capture. My trajectory prior to capture had me escaping the planets SOI via gravity assist. When I zoomed out to view the entire solar system to see where my orbit would end up once I left the planets SOI, my flight path looked like segmented straight lines such as in the picture above. Hope that helps with a possible scenario to recreate.
@PhilipTarpley Alright. Thanks for trying! -- it might've been fixed when something else got fixed, who knows!
@Mod I looked into this some more and am unable to reproduce, unfortunately. I think this is just one of those bugs that I'll eventually stumble upon a good repro scenario and I'll tackle it then.
@Mod Thanks a ton for helping with this, it is greatly appreciated! I'll keep you informed about this bug's status. I'm currently working on finishing up a couple features and then I'll look into it.
Had another run in with it.. this time I wasn't getting into any orbits.. just happened randomly whilst going more than 800km/s.
I just told HF what I just noticed, and I'll tell you too. When the burn is happening the trajectory lines gets closer and closer to the smoon until it turns into orbit, and for a SPLIT second you can see it go from a smooth line into a very rough polygonal shape.
I'm doing it over and over now, and it gets really close to breaking each time, but doesn't want to go all the way! :/
@PhilipTarpley I was finally able to get it to happen again, and I did do a quicksave before the warp. If it doesn't break the first go-round, reload and do it again until it does.
One more thing to add to my previous post. The segmented line flight path bug cleared up on its own once my craft entered the effective planets atmosphere. In this case with the Uranus analog, about 140-145km, when drag started to slow my ship. As soon as my velocity changed due to drag, the flight path on the map screen updated to a smooth curve and tracked the correct changes from my aero capture.
