1.7.3 converts 1.6.1 craft but won't re-root them?

[Hotel26]

Has anyone else noticed this?

I've upgraded my fleet from 1.6.1 to 1.7.3.  I load and save them progressively as I need them.  But I've noticed with 2 craft now (e.g. KerbalX.com/Hotel26/Spunk) that I cannot re-root them as a prelude to some kind of upgrade.

I could be wrong.  It could be that re-root is strangely different in 1.7.3 than I'm used to.

Anyone have any clue about this; or run into similar?

Specifically, when I click the first part, the editor picks up the whole ship instead of allowing me to next select the part I want to become the root.

I've noticed that in 1.7.3, when you use the re-root tool, you actually have to click on the ship's root part in order to re-root, when before, you could just click anywhere.

For me i just have to click the re root tool again and again until it works and decides not to select the ship.

This worked and, in the case of Spunk, the Okto2 (that was root) is buried inside a service bay, so hovering on the service bay lights the whole ship but is NOT the root part.

It's good to know, thanks.

Confirmed that this -sometimes- happens. Not consistently though, at least not in my case.
