Kerbal Space Program

If you try to place a cargo bay AROUND an existing payload (as opposed to placing the cargo bay, then placing the payload INSIDE), the part-placement snaps to place (as if it's a proper spot for attachment) but mouse-click does not actually attach the part (just places it as an unused part).

• open VAB
• select mk1 command pod as root part
• select mk2 cargo bay (CRG-04, that is the one I tested with anyhow)
• try to place the cargo-bay so it contains the POD, part snaps in place, but refuses to connect

If you try to place the cargo-bay BELOW or ABOVE the pod it works fine (snaps and attaches). If you place the cargo-bay first then place the pod inside it snaps and attaches fine.

This was definitely NOT an issue pre-1.0 (as I often built payloads first then placed the cargo bays around them).

As always, tested in arch linux 64bit (ksp64bit). But I think safe to assume this is an OS-independent issue.
