Description

Occasional parts in one of the service bays can sometimes fly apart, become disconnected, shift around laterally, or break. I've seen this occur occasionally when slowing down from fairly high time warp speed while in orbit or while accelerating at a fairly moderate speed in space. It seems to mostly occur when I switch to the map and then back to the up-close view. These are situations where the G forces are no where near what should cause the ship to experience unscheduled rapid deconstruction. The parts will often be jittering around if still connected. Switching to map and back again has "fixed" it so that everything re-alligns with it's proper position but more fragile parts (solar panels.) are usually broken by then.

Using Chatterer, KerbalEngineer, MechJeb 2, and StageRecovery.

The only one of those I would suspect that might be causing some of the issues would be MechJeb.

Bug #4886 is likely related. I've seen this problem mainly when jumping to ships, either from the Tracking Station or from other ships. No time warp, no acceleration, no SAS, no mods. It is NOT consistent, eg, jump from Ship A to Ship B, ship B shudders and then explodes. F9, jump from A to B again, no problem. Can sometimes be alleviated by opening the bay doors. Might have to do with parts collisions either within the bay or with the doors. I definitely did that to one ship that exploded a lot - stacked parts a little too tall for the service bay.
