hi dear forum members

my question in the picture

thank you

you are seeing the current flowing into the electro across the fets, when they turn off motor current flows into electro - and source current still flows into electro - but reducing . . . .

If by “electro” you mean capacitor, then I agree. Which is why I asked to see a schematic to begin with…
 
Move the current probe so it only measures the current going to/from the MOSFETs.
I think that will be less confusing.
As you expect in post #1, when switching off MOSFETs 1 and 4, the current goes in MOSFETs 2 and 3 (body diode),
so the current to/from the MOSFETs will change polarity.
 
If - in the real world - you had the electro on the LHS of the current probe in your sketch above, rather than across the H bridge ( where it is but you omitted it from your sketch ) then you would see your expected waveforms.
