all action groups locked but craft controllable. why?


Recommended Posts

It's happened five or six times that as I was coming in for a landing in a spaceplane that the SAS, RCS, brakes, lights, and landing gear buttons would all get locked. Clicking on them would have no effect, nor would the keyboard shortcuts. I could still control the craft, and I could lower landing gear, deploy airbrakes, and toggle lights by right-clicking on the parts. (This isn't really a workaround since not everything can be done that way.) It was a manned craft in the atmosphere at 1x time warp. I've only noticed it since 1.0.5. I recall it happening each time when I pitched up for aerobraking and then switched to the map view to watch my periapsis. When I switched back those buttons would be locked. Perhaps that's a coincidence. Does this sound like a bug, or is there some gameplay "feature" that would lock these action groups? I'm thinking it's a "feature" because the button colors are actually desaturated a bit, as you can see in the following image (top: locked, bottom: normal).

EDIT: Come to think of it, the buttons also get desaturated when you pause the game by pressing Escape. Maybe the game is partially stuck thinking it's paused?

EDIT: That seems to be related to the problem. I can't reliably reproduce it (it happens very often when time warping in the atmosphere, I think), but when it happens, pressing Escape partially fixes it. The brakes and lights become unstuck, but RCS, SAS, landing gear, and custom action groups remain stuck, it seems...

EDIT: This may be related to the Hyperedit "change time" feature. Setting the time back far enough that MET becomes negative seems to cause this.
