ok... this started happening recently, and its very strange and annoying, every time i un-dock or EVA instead of coming out straight, the ship or ummu moves in a random direction, if you understand.

edit: video

Your joystick is probably adding a thrust component to the vessel. Check to make sure that the throttle is set to zero & calibrated (zero doesn't always mean zero) or disabled.

Any active autopilots or MFDs which could be trying to add thrust?

If you disable all addons does it still happen?

Is what you're undocking or EVAing from rotating?

As I said, if I move near the dock it pushes me away when I should dock.

Edit: Yay! My new install of Orbiter doesn't have this problem. However, it indeed is really weird and I'd like to know what causes it and/or how to solve it, it would be interesting to know.

so anyone have a solution? i just wonder how it happened and if it can be repaired

up above, rtyh says that reinstalling orbiter solved the problem, have you tried that? My guess would be that there's an addon causing problems. If you don't want to uninstall, try disabling all addons (as I suggested like two days ago)
