Staging glitch when advancing stages mid-maneuver

[Llosidian]

Every time I run through a maneuver and have to eject a set of tanks/engines, staging completely stops working, and I have to go out of map mode, manually decouple things by right clicking each decoupler, then activate engines again. This causes me to literally never be able to complete a maneuver where I'm expecting to use more than one stage - I either have to discard the old stage prior to the maneuver and waste whatever fuel was left (sometimes which I have planned on using with the flight plan), or I have to break my maneuvers into 2 stages, which is a huge pain.

Any advice, or is this a known issue, or...? This is a completely vanilla install.

This is a known issue, especially when you change the stages after you launch, my advice is if you have many stages with multiple decouplers/fairings you should use the Action Groups for staging,

and now that you can edit the action groups on flight you don't have to worry about not using them for other things.

After you do that you know with certainty when you hit each number what is gonna happen.
