Test Decoupler missions don't work

[thyriel]

Got 2 missions open that seem not to be solveable:

* Test Hydraulic Detachement Manifold orbiting Kerbin

* Test TR-2V Stack Decoupler on an escape trajectory out of the mun

KSP Version: 0.25.0.642 (x64)

On both missions all the status needed are marked as ok (Orbit / Escape Trajectory, Altitude and being near Kerbin / Mun). Despite i could have run the tests on the parts, none of them have a rightclick-menu option to perform the test nor does using (=decouple) perform the test. Can't definitly say if that affects all decoupler missions, but seems like it when both don't seem to work at all.

From memory, those missions usually specify you have to activate the decoupler from the staging functions (spacebar). It seems like you're using the right-click menu to decouple, which is (while a fairly logical solution) not what the contract calls for. Typically, the contracts are pretty specific about how​ you need to perform the action.

Thanks, decoupling via staging procudure did work. I usually use rightclick menu for everything that doesn't need to be timed with something else (especially since subassemblys now seem to work, but their staging gets mixed together on assembly), so i didn't thought that would make any difference to staging procedure.
