Moving one ship causes another in close proximity to do same

[Project Pluto]

Having a strange issue. I recently was doing an EVA and as I manoeuvred my Kerbal, the ship (now unmanned but with a probe core) that he was in close proximity to, moved in unison. I even noticed it's RCS firing. I've noticed this with two ships that arrived at a destination as one unit, but then were separated (both with probe cores or Kerbal pilots). Is there an additional step taken to fully "disconnect" two vessels (or vessel/Kerbal)?

Thanks in advance...

Woah. That's a weird bug.

I saw it before somewhere. Try Quicksaving-Quickloading. Or switching to Space Center and then back to the ship.

This is a known problem that dates back a few versions. You can find details here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/78005-Controlling-All-Craft-in-Physics-Range

The short answer to fix it is to switch to your vessel and press ALT+X (zeroing out the trim). Then you can move your kerbal around freely without it flipping your pod.

Great, thanks! At least an explanation...
