Hmm... just tested it, can't confirm this. You have a craft file maybe?

Left click on module, transfer crew, EVA.

It is now issue with almost every vessel.

You need to help us help you. I've used many craft and have gone eva on most of them, and have not yet had a hatch obstructed in 1.11. So if you are having this problem you need to provide more information. The information listed in that linked thread.

If you got your game from steam, then it's important to understand that file corruption often happens during game updates. So after an update, if you see something odd happen that looks like a bug, the very first thing you should do is verify your file integrity from Steam. Have you?

evanrichter posted a report (link) on the bug tracker about nearby scanning arms blocking hatches.  It looks like, very roughly, all hatches within the scanning radius of the arm are counted as blocked.   [Edit: No, the hatches are not blocked.  The bug report found that if the first hatch of the pod is blocked, and if you click the EVA button on the Kerbal portrait, then you see the message "All hatches obstructed" but the 'all' is a lie; when there is a secondary hatch, by clicking on the hatch directly you get the EVA option and that succeeds.

That does not explain the problems with single-hatch parts like the cupola.  If anyone has a craft the shows the problem with a single-hatch part, putting that craft on bug report might help.] 

There was a note in the changelog  * Fix issue with certain airlock hatches not properly detecting obstructions. and a corresponding bug-report (link) about a  "maybe not worth fixing" inconsistency with hatches blocked by landing gear.

bug report was a false alarm

Interesting, thanks @OHara!

post pictures please. maybe the kerbonaut is in some other module which is actually blocked. maybe there is something blocking the cupola that is not evident. without seeing, we cannot know
