System Info

KSP Version: KSP2 Build ID 10624168

Operating System and version: Windows 11 / Version 22H2

CPU and GPU models: AMD 5800X / NVIDIA RTX 3700 / 32GB RAM

Mods Installed: None

Description of the Bug

Expected Behavior: If I select horizonal mode in VAB, the first part will be placed in horizontal orientation.

Observed Behavior: If I select horizontal mode in VAB in a new workspace and then select a first part that is not a cockpit; then the VAB is switched to vertical mode and my part is placed in vertical orientation.

Steps to Replicate:

1. Open new workspace
2. Select horizontal mode
3. Spawn any part that is not a cockpit

Fixes / Workarounds: Spawning cockpit initially, placing the part you want, and then removing the cockpit.
