Weird air intake problem

[Michel Bartolone]

Monday afternoon, I built and flew a jet around for a while, landed it away from the KSC to check out something on the ground, and didn't have enough fuel left to get back, so I recovered the vessel. No problem. Then I exited from the game as normal. Everything seemed 100% fine. I started the game Tuesday, and something strange is going on.

NONE of my jets will throttle up

I've tried restarting the game. I've tried rebooting my computer. I've tried a different existing save game with the same results. I tried starting a new sandbox save, building a new plane in it, and I get the same results!

My player.log and previous player log are here:    https://www.dropbox.com/t/35XbpaV5h5QL3Dlv

Further analysis, and I find that _all_ of the air intakes now have 2 buttons for intake control (open/close intake). In the SPH, I made sure both were set to 'open'. I launch the plane, checked the intakes and they are both open. Then I press the space bar to stage, which should activate the engine, which is does, BUT it also sets the intake (both buttons) to closed...one of them I can open, the other one stays closed, and I can't open it, so my jet engines all flame out, oxygen deprived.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Additional info:

I just went in and built a new plane. It was just a cockpit, a bunch of side by side fuel tanks, 2 of each of the subsonic intakes, the shock cone intake, the diverterless intake, and some landing gear to get it up off the ground (no wings as I was only testing the intakes). I checked and all of them have the two intake control buttons. In the SPH I made sure both were open on all of the intakes. I launched, and checked again, and all were open. I staged to activate the engines, and both of the intake entries on each of the intakes were closed by staging. I tried to click on both of the control buttons for each intake, and one will open, and the other one will not.

I don't even begin to understand how this can be...but I decided to do a new fresh load of 1.12.3, with the latest breaking ground, and _all_ of the mods I have installed...guess what...the new install works just fine. I even copied over all of the ships, and the saved games. I have not had the chance to check on the other issue (multiple station parts 'staging'. when a new ship docks), but the throttle issue is resolved with the new install.  So, since I am using the same saved games in the new install, I have to assume the issue is the game itself somehow got corrupted, rather than the craft files, or the persistence files etc.
