KSP Freezes; Crashes on Pressing F12 in Atmosphere

[Nittany Tiger]

I'm getting an issue when talking screenshots in KSP.  Whenever I hit F12 in the atmosphere of Kerbin to take a screenshot (in Steam), and it disables aerodynamic forces display, it causes the game to freeze when I hit F3 to bring back up the GUI.  When I take screenshots, I usually disable the GUI first.  This only happens when F12 disables the aerodynamic force vectors, not enables them, and the freeze happens when I re-enable the GUI in atmospheric flight, such as flying a plane or ascending a rocket.

Steps to Replicate:

1. Load any craft and launch it.
2. While in the atmosphere:
   1. (optional?) Press F3 to disable GUI
   2. Press F12 to enable aerodynamic forces overlay (default screenshot button in Steam)
   3. Press F3 to re-enable GUI (if disabled)
   4. Press F3 to disable GUI
   5. Press F12 to disable aerodynamic forces overlay
   6. Press F3 to enable GUI
3. Game should either freeze up or crash on GUI re-enable.  Sound should continue playing.  If the game freezes, force-closing the game sometimes produces a crash message and outputs a crash log.

Hope this is enough info for you guys to help figure out the issue.

The aero display causing crashes is a known problem.  It should be possible to work around it by turning off the part highlighting in the settings.

Version 1.2.0 had a bug where having the part highlighting and antialiasing enabled caused a huge amount of garbage thrash with larger vessels.  Squad fixed this in 1.2.1 but it appears that the fix now results in a crash if the aero display is toggled.

Hopefully, there will be another patch fairly soon to address this...
