Parts joining other parts

[Oak7603]

I keep having this issue that may be intentional but it really bothers me and it is when parts that aren't even touching get locked together. Examples of this are when I tried to build a cargo bay that was exactly the right length for a satellite probe, but when it was deployed all of the small cargo bay sections were stuck to the craft, the latest one is in the following pictures. I built a truss section to hold the inflatable heat shield over the fairing that enveloped the whole structure for launch. When I deployed the decouplers to release the rover and heatshield from the last stage of the launch vehicle, the heat shield was magically held in place. Is this intentional and if so why. If not, I will submit a bug report. 

My other issue is parts staying highlighted. How do I 'unselect' a part? I like taking screenshots and they look rubbish with highlighted parts.
