Fixed wing aircraft go vertical when in targeting pod view

I’ve been using jets for a very long time but I haven’t gotten around to solving this issue; when I’m in a fixed wing aircraft, whether I’m in a slight dive, climb, or am completely stable, the aircraft will sometimes go vertical, either up or down, when I go into targeting pod view. For reference I am using pointer controls when this happens. Is there a solution to this issue? Thanks in advance.
