[Linux] CLOSED - Changing symmetry mode in VAB causes crash to desktop

[ChaoticWeg]

Whenever I try to change the symmetry mode of a part in the VAB, the game silently crashes.

Not every part will do this - I've had a 100% reproduction rate with trying to place a 2.5m nose cone on top of a 2.5m fuel tank.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place the attached .craft file into (KSP folder)/saves/(save folder)/Ships/VAB
   
2. Open the attached .craft in the VAB
   
3. Pick up a 2.5m nose cone from the Aerodynamics tab
   
4. Hover the nose cone over the attach node on top of the exposed fuel tanks, but do not place it
   
5. Press X (or symmetry-change button, if remapped) to change the symmetry mode
   

More information is available in this bug report.

Hi ChaoticWeg, this has been known for some time now, there's no fix yet, please try to avoid changing symmetry when placing some parts.

Thanks! Wasn't aware that it was a known issue. Closed.
