Relationship lines with another FT user switched

I viewed my relationship with another FT contributor and noticed that the lines of ascent to the common ancestor have been switched. Has anyone else seen this glitch? In the image, I am the blocked person on the left, but my direct ancestors are shown on the right.

    @NLMartinez I am puzzling over this one…

    Here is a knowledge article: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-does-the-relationship-viewer-determine-how-i-am-related-to-someone-in-family-tree

    I can think of two things:

    1. There was a change made in Family Tree that altered the relationship.
    2. You are related on more than one line. The default should be the shortest line.

    @NLMartinez To confirm . . .

    Are you saying that your parent is Robustiano? But the tree is stating your parent is Elibia?
