Trip echo problem

The trip echo that says: "So and so distracts someone a moment and stomps on their foot." or something like that, doesn't seem to be right for a third party watching them. It reversed the person doing the tripping and the one being tripped. My ap groupmate tripped a mob, but it showed the mob tripping him with the long echo, and the only reason I know he tripped the mob was the old short trip echo.
