Bug #5012
fairing placeability status doesn't update properly
100%
Description
The fairings are really nice to use except when you moved your current section in a bad way, like closing it up for creating the tip, then sliding it down a bit and accidentally make it unplaceable (LMB text turns orange) you then slide it up a bit to get it placeable again, but that won't happen.
Instead you have to reopen and close it before it notices that it is indeed placeable.
To reproduce what I mean:
- place something on a fairing base, like the Mk1 pod on the S2 fairing base
- move the cursor so that you would create a cone fairing around it with the cursor in the middle for closing it up while having the LMB text still be green
- now slide the cursor still in the middle down until the LMB text turns orange, then back up again where it was still green and therefore placeable just a moment ago
- see how it will NOT turn green and stay unplaceable, until you've move the cursor from the center until it extended again and moved it then back to the center for closing, again
This isn't a big bug but a pretty annoying one.
