reported Issue with the DIR function (Direct route)

[Renko]

I noticed that each time you choose DIR to navigate to a wpt from your FlightPlan, it makes a new wpt named "Turn Point" before the selected wpt.
The issue is that this new "Turn Point" is added into the flightplan permanently.

So if i select DIR to a wpt lets say nº4, and after that i select a previous wpt on the same flightplan lets say nº2 as DIR.
The flightplan lines represented on the HSD are "borked" because a TurnPoint was created when selecting nº4 but it stays on the flightplan. It doesnt delete when i choose another wpt with DIR.
And you can end up with a rather convoluted flight plan, if you use that a few times.

This convoluted magenta lines on a flightplan is demostrated in the attached Track.

I asked a Chinook SME on ED's Discord and he confirmed this as a bug. He said: 
"When going direct to a way point it would snap a new line, WP4 in your example. If you cycled back to WP2, it would snap a new line from your present position to the selected WP, and add a line continuing to subsequent WPs."

He didnt mentioned anything about new wpt created, so that TurnPoint added as a wpt on the flightplan seems to be incorrect behaviour.

Thanks, but thats just a work around.
As i said in my first post this behaviour is not how it should be. And i checked that with an active pilot of a Hook
