Unable to select crew hatch

[ammonia_ocean]

I'm fairly new to KSP, and recently docked a Hitchhiker Storage Container to my space station. I put a kerbal into EVA, flew him to the container door, and made him enter the container. However, when I tried to get him out, I couldn't select the container door to bring up the list of crew names. I tried with other ships and parts of the station, then tried left-clicking, right-clicking, control-clicking, command-clicking, fn-clicking, shift-clicking, alt-clicking, and pretty much every other key combination I could think of. Only once did I actually manage to bring up the list of crew names for a ship, and that was with a Mark 1-2 command module. I left-clicked the door, changed the ship name and icon, and when the menu was gone, the crew roster was up. I was unable to repeat this with either the same ship or others, however. Does anyone know what's going on, or how to fix it? (I'm using the latest version, for Mac, with the MechJeb, Quantum Strut, and Subassembly Loader mods.)

Just wait for 0.20. It likely isnt too long until it comes out. When it is released, the HSC will have the IVA option, meaning that EVA as also done the same way as kerbals in a normal command pod. It sould be released in less that a month. Until then, i suggest playing around. Why not go to Jool? There be lots of cool stuff there! - Pug

I think that is a common Mac bug, and that it is not getting solved until the IVA-capable pod makes an appearance, hopefully in 0.20. Using windows myself, I wouldn't know exactly.

This is a common Mac bug, unfortunately Unity4 has issues with OS X Leopard, I heard Lion is not effected but I can't confirm that, and I don't know if Unity will fix this and other issues for Leopard.

The workaround is to use windowed mode and click on your desktop before the hatch, but even that is not reliable, maybe someone can make a plugin to EVA any Kerbal on a craft?

The Crew Manifest mod works if you have another command module on the ship, you could transfer the kerbal over and then EVA him from there.

@sal: that's not a bad idea, I wonder if that could be a feature for the next version...

Thanks for all the replies! Sorry I didn't get back to you until today, I'm a bit unfamiliar with the posting system. The problem is now fixed.
