Just thinking out loud here, but having the solution go wild is a good way to communicate that the solution is no longer valid. There isn't any real, overt cue that the contact has changed course or speed otherwise.

I've done my time on DW TMA station, lining up those dots..
It's not about changing speed etc, if you lose contact for any reason the solution is immediately reset to "zero". This can happen if you change layer, increase speed etc. Usually at that point you still pick up pings but they don't keep the contact live.
The game obviously does not have a persistent state for the TMA, if you lose the contact for a moment it jumps to a some default distance immediately etc.
