Big Box hiding the Stage control in VAB (with workaround)

[Rasoubia]

There is a an unknown window that appear in the VAB and it is hiding the Stage control.
It is still present in:
⦁    VAB
⦁    Kerbal Space Center view
⦁    Training Center
⦁    Tracking Station
The box t is not there if I start a new campain.
But re-loading the game and the save game does not fix the issue.
After going to the process of documenting everything with screen shot, I notice that the size of the box match the stage window in the Flight view.
It was like there was a BIG stage 0. After dragging the engine in stage 1 the big window desapear and it was fix everywhere.

I ran into this a couple of days ago, and then again yesterday, and this time I was paying a bit more attention.

The bugged in-flight staging stack happened either when I accidentally hit the spacebar (triggering staging) on a vessel that had been separated and re-docked (rearranging the staging stack), or when I used the parts manager to manually deactivate an active engine, I don't remember which.

But yes, fixing the staging stack in-flight got the empty box removed from the KSC and VAB scenes.

I suspect that another (more temporary) workaround might be to switch the flight scene to a different vessel with a non-borked staging stack, but I haven't tested it yet.

Based on @Silvia Dragoness comment I made more test and the bug can be reproduce.
I can now confirm that deactivating an engine create the bug.
There are 2 workaround.

1. Reactivate the engine
2. Switch to a different vessel

Love the game, keep up the good work !!!
