Issues with deployable antennas inside a fairing with v1.10.1

[DeadJohn]

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered similar issues and knows a quick fix. If not, I'll continue debugging and testing, then post logs and photos if still unsolved. I've just started playing with 1.10.1 and am still testing and debugging mods.

Issue 1: Sometimes antennas look like they are extended on the launch pad even though they are retracted in VAB. As a result, the dish passes through the stock fairing that contains them. The antenna's part window says the antenna is still retracted despite what the graphic shows. If I launch, aero forces act like antenna really is deployed. If I use the part window manually to extend and immediately retract the antenna, the graphic glitch and aero behavior seem to fix themselves.

Issue 2: Procedural Fairings shape themselves as if a deployable antenna is always extended in the VAB, so I get weird super-wide fairings. Such craft fly okay but are ugly and more draggy than if the fairing were narrower, but the fairing is shielding the parts. If I manually reshape the fairing around the retracted antenna shape, then the antenna is not shielded even though it's inside the fairing. The extend+retract workaround for issue 1 does not help procedural fairings.

I've had a similar thing like issue 1 in 1.9.1 with solar panels.  They're partially extended inflight, but in the editor they are retracted.  The PAW says they are retracted though.
