Aaaargh!! Remote Control bug is still around..

So I just spend most of the evening building and flying a rescue mission beyond Mun's orbit. After a long and difficult rendezvous and grab (With the Klaw), I EVA'd said Kerbal, pressed <space> to let go of the ladder, and.... my main ship staged! Noooo! There goes the engine & fuel for the homeward trip.

Now I have 3 Kerbals and 2 capsules to recover from deep space. I don't mind if it happens through my own fault. But when it's because of (an allegedly squashed) bug I get a bit miffed.

Usually a sign that you didn't do a clean install of an update. Might want to delete your current version, install the latest version with no mods installed, and give that a try with your save.

I've not encountered this bug in KSP v1.0, but man was it ever annoying in 0.90. I've avoided the Klaw ever since. It's not a bad install, or user error, it's just the nature of the Klaw.

I put my claw inside of MK3 cargo bay, open the door and let the craft float in slightly tap the gas, and it home again, no need to get our of the ship and push stuff around.

I've attached the Klaw to a vestigal vehicle with not even a main engine (just RCS) but all the reentry goodies.

They land in whatever they were found in, with that small stub covered thickly in airbrakes and parachutes trailing behind them.

I always do a complete fresh install instead of an update. This is pretty much the first time I've used the Klaw - I didn't know this bug was triggered by it.

I was EVA'ing the Kerbal to get it into the main pod - as I'm not convinced the Mk2 Lander Can she was stranded in will survive the fires of re-entry. Haven't unlocked Mk3 parts yet so don't have cargo bays large enough. Besides, I tend not to play with the spaceplane parts, but it's a good suggestion, thanks.
