Kerbals can't jump on Kerbin, and do weird dances on top of planes

[Seaview123]

I recently noticed that my Kerbals can no longer jump when on Kerbin, and when EVA'ing they collapse when I hit spacebar to let go of the hatch. If this happens while they're still on the plane/ship, the game will sometimes crash when I press a key to have them stand up. If they manage to stand, while on the plane they bounce constantly as if they're jumping while on Eve.

I'm running a few mods which I installed using CKAN, but I didn't notice this happening until after a long Mun mission, and after several mods had been updated (I'm not sure which ones).

I tried unloading all mods then reinstalling them one by one, and thought I'd narrowed it down to Pilot Assistant, but the bug came back later on, and I can't isolate it to any one mod.

The list of mods I'm using is below. All are up to date with the latest versions from CKAN. If anyone has seen this before and knows what I can do to fix it (short of removing all my mods), I'd definitely appreciate the help.

[OLD! See at the end for solution!]

I've the same problem when my Kerbals are on Mun... I can't even use the jetpack! They're attached on the floor and won't jump / fly!

I've some mods installed in common with you:

Asteroid Day

Kerbal Attachment System

Kerbal Inventory System

Mechjeb2

SCANSat

Station Science

Maybe one of these has this bug!

I've also noticed, opening the debug menu (ALT-F12), that pressing space for jumping on Mun, on the Debug tab is written:

[CurrencyConverter for Unpaid Research Program]: 0 Reputation taken, yields 0 Science

EVERY TIME!!! So now I've a log full of these......

What's happening?

EDIT!!!

After some work, PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! It's not a bug... it's a feature xD

For me, my Kerbal has its inventory full at 250/300 of its capacity...

Lowering it's inventory made its jump more and more high.... Emptying the inventory restored the normal jump to kerbal!

Feature of KIS, for me it worked! Try it yourself and let's see if you have same problem!

Been having this same issue, can't figure out what is causing it at the moment. Will edit if I find anything. It is no feature as I do not have KAS or KIS.

EDIT: After some process of elimination I think the culprit is Pilot Assistant. I removed it for the time being and am now issue free, walking on top my planes like it ain't no thang. I don't mind holding off until the next PA release given some other issues, like not being able to edit the heading value. Hope this works for you.

Thanks folks!

My "Kerbals can't jump" problem was due to my having loaded them out with a bunch of KIS tools in their inventory. They still have the "bouncing on plane wings" thing going on but I love Pilot Assistant too much to get rid of it. I'm hoping for a fix, and PA gets updated pretty often, so I'll post a note on their forum page to alert them to the issue.

PS -- to edit the heading in PA select the course header (to turn it red (brown?)), then type the new heading in the heading field (left of the green heading difference field), then click on the course button (left of the heading field). My planes usually start turning to the new heading. This saves me lots of time and effort on those "fly to a waypoint" contracts. Hope that helps.

Oh, and I clicked the 'Add to Rep' button for both of you. Thanks again for the help!

I've had a similar problem, but with wheels/landing gear/landing legs. I don't have PA, and it seems to be doing it regardless of what mods I have installed, even with none at all!
