Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Win 11 | CPU: Ryzen 9 5900HS | GPU: RTX 3070 Laptop version | RAM: 16GB

 

Severity: Low

Frequency: 100% reproducible, edge case in normal usage.

 

Description: If you launch a flight and initiate the countdown, revert flight to VAB before the countdown finishes, then the next time you launch a craft from the VAB (without going to other vessels first) the countdown will be automatically started when you launch.

 

Steps:

1. Create a vehicle and go to launch
2. Initiate countdown
3. Revert to VAB
4. Go to launch again
5. Countdown is automatically started and vehicle will launch without you pressing space.

 

It seems if you load another vehicle or go to certain scenes the countdown won't pick up next time. Alternatively you can simply wait until a vehicle launches and then revert it the countdown also stops.
