Captain Bluey

I experienced a similar bug last night. Launched a rocket from Kerbin. I set up a maneuver to circularise the orbit. Before I started the maneuver, I released a fairing. But a bit of it was stuck on the rocket. I then pressed M to go to the map view and found that the brown maneuver path that was previously circularised around Kerbin was now located about halfway between Kerbin and the Mun. Strange!

I reported this bug as well. Linked a thread with a possible work around at the end. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/117639-Major-M700-scanner-graphics-bug-probe-remains-but-rest-of-what-was-attached-is-gone%21

Looks like we have a temporary solution: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/117832-Do-not-make-the-Orbital-Survey-Scanner-your-root

So I built a rocket with a M700 scanner and sent it into a polar orbit around Minimus. Got a really nice polar insertion and was very proud :-) I then swtiched back to the base on Kerbal, thinking to build another rocket. However, when I went back to see my M700 probe in orbit, apart from the scanner itself, everything else that was attached to the scanner has disappeared. And of course, now the scanner itself no longer works (no power, no communications). Same thing happens when I revert to an earlier save. The scanner is there, but the rest of it that I launched is gone. Nothing I can do will get the rest of the scanner back. Tried deleting the game and redownloading from scratch, but the same bug appears. Interestingly, I tried to replicate the bug with another rocket using parts that were available in pre 1.0 but the bug didnt happen. Please help, as I need a working scanner to look for ore! :-) Thanks.
