Shaking "you cannot save above surface" when docking

[subzerocro]

I finally managed to get 2 thing docked in Kerbin orbit but after I dock them it says "cannot save above surface" and starts shaking like all hell, is there any way to fix that? I Tried the same thing in a sandbox save with hyper edit, it still happens there.

It's a bug where the game thinks you are moving over the ground still.

A lot of the time it's caused by a discarded part that is still touching your ship in some way, like a decoupler or something that got caught.

Are you using any mods? Have you tried quicksaving/quickloading?

What's your altitude?

Thank you, it was a decoupler placed on the wrong side and it was connected to the station as a part and i tought i must be like this.

I get that message sometimes. No idea how to solve it legally. I just hyperedit the ships/station to the orbit they already are in, and that has solved it for me.
