Cannot Revert Active Flight after Returning to Saved Game

[Washed and Rusty]

If returning to a save after* closing the game where a rocket is being controlled, "Revert to Launch" or "Revert to VAB" is greyed out and cannot be performed. It happens for me 100% of the time. 

How to repeat:

1. Start new exploration campaign with "Allow Revert" turned on. I was having this problem on my main save but wanted to reproduce in a new one to eliminate one possible issue on my end.

2. Put a rocket on launch pad or launch it

3. Save game.

4. Close out of game "without saving" or "with saving", it does not have an effect. 

5. Load save.

6. Cannot revert. 

 

This bug does not occur if saving then loading during the same game session. The game must be closed. Making multiple saves during the launch results in all of them having the bug, it's not just the final save before closing that becomes corrupted. "Allow Revert" in game settings stays in the on position before and after closing the game. If a save is loaded before launching or a new rocket is launched, the option to revert returns.

Work around:

1. Put craft in a non-dangerous condition

2. Launch a new craft and wait a few seconds.

3. Ability to revert returns for the original craft.
