Today, I flew this FP

As I got to about 1,500 miles, I hit dep/arr and I selected BIG1E (if I recall) and 27L. I also selected BIG as transition. I fussed for quite some time as the route had all sorts of U-Turns that did not look right.
As I got close enough to start down it, all of a sudden it stopped following the route and just kept going straight. I double checked VNAV and a/p were connected, next waypoint was BIG/303, if I recall. Of course, I was somehow heading 279 (a full turn). I forgot to mention that I had stepped away west of the field, so maybe there was something that happened... Before BIG/303, I tried deleting a waypoiint, and going to BIG/303, but it would not go anywhere, other than straight ahead. I then disconnected ap and proceeded to do visual approach to finish the flight.
