Grumble Seat - Anyone able to EVA from it? (Always 'Blocked by Obstacle)

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

Anyone figured this out?

It's a bug with the collision detection at the front edge of the seat.  You can nudge it up in the air above w/e it's mounted on, or push it far forward to the very edge (or even past the edge) of its parent piece.

To see it in action, place one on a plate as a simple two-piece vessel.  Nudge the seat around (esp. up) with the translate tool, and launch a few times to find the minimum separation you need from the parent piece.

Thanks!  I'll give that a shot

I have had issues with the lawn chairs when mounted on a flat panel (for a rover).  In my case the issue was any part in front of the seat was preventing Kerbals from exiting.  Moving the seat up off the panel did not help.  Moving the seats back worked, creating more open space in front of the seat.  Just by eyeballing it, it looks like you need nearly 2m completely free in front of the lawn chairs to exit successfully.  This is surely not intended behavior, hoping that gets adjusted eventually.
