Modding Kerbals results in KSP going haywire

[Bishop149]

I have a very weird issue when modding my Kerbals as described here: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorial:Modifing_Kerbals

Tried it twice now with the same results, I changed the "name "and "brave" and "dumb" of a couple of Kerbals, saved the file and loaded the game.

Navitgating around KSP scene then became bugged as hell, couldn't click the VAB, some other building seemed ok, but their menus remained overlayed onto the KSP screen when I closed them. It basically became totally unusable.

Fixed by restoring an unmodified version of the save file.

I can't for the life of me work out how the few very minor changes I made to the parameters of specific Kerbs could have resulted in major screen loading errors!

Sounds like maybe your text editor was saving the file differently than it should be?
