Stop Chutes from opening.

Hey folks

Ive had a problem recently (0.19 I think) where my chutes set in stage 0 will automatically trigger as soon as the stage before that (Stage 1) is reached. I have mechjeb 2.0 installed however this issue occurs regardless if autopilot is activated or not.

Ship in VAB Image here -

what happens ~1 second after launch -

The extra engine in stage 0 is the ion thruster in my payload which ALSO activates with the chutes

It seems to be as soon as the craft leaves the ground with less than 2 stages (0 and 1) it automatically triggers stage 0 for me.

Any solutions gents. Please tell me im just doing something stupid .

EDIT: Ugh spelt Shoots instead of Chutes... Brainfart.

That's a bug in MechJeb. Turn off auto staging in ascent guidance or set auto staging to end before your stage that has the parachutes.

thanks that fixed it. I thought it would only auto stage if autopilot was active.
