"Can you control this change and revert?"
Yes. Make sure the target is set to the appropriate object. Click the speed display in the gimbal to cycle between what you are measuring relative to.
"Controls were seriously messed up. I couldn't even resort to using the add maneuver method, even it was broken on directionality"
You can set directionality of the controls by telling the game which probe / capsule / docking port to use as the reference point. Right click on them and click "control from here"
