Bug #4070
Duplicating a detached part, and then attaching it to a part of the active vessel makes it inseparable.
100%
Description
If you take a part in the VAB/SPH that is detached from the current vessel (non-transparent parts), and duplicate it (alt-left clicking in windows), and then attach it to a part of the active vessel, that part can no longer be separated from whatever it was attached to. If you click on that part, it will drag the entire vessel instead of just the part and its children, preventing separation.
The only workaround I've found is if you can temporarily disconnect the problematic part from the root part (i.e. by selecting a part between it and the root part), put it "down" in a disconnected state, and pick it back up and then reattach it to the vessel, you can then separate the problematic part.
Marking it as Windows as I'm unsure if it happens on other platforms. Tested in the 32-bit 0.90 build.
