Description

Bug:

When using a docking port for staging and possibly others, upon separation the game switches to the Docking Mode control scheme without actually switching to docking mode. The bug only affects the child ship; the parent ship is unaffected.

Workaround:

If I switch to Docking Mode, then switch back to Staging Mode, it will load the Staging Control scheme and I am able to stage normally.

Assumptions:

Bug is assumed to only occur with ships that are launched from VAB/SPH docked; I do not have the time to be more thorough unfortunately, but my assumption is based off of my understanding of how KSP handles docking; my guess is that it does not properly initialize the child craft's settings when spawning a ship that uses a docking port to initialize a two-part rocket.

Images:

After breaking connection, game will not let me stage and I found that if I mash spacebar, it says "Lin/Rot Switch Mode", a message that comes up only with the Docking Mode control scheme loaded.

Rocket begins operating normally after clicking the Docking button on the lower left-hand corner then clicking on the staging mode button above it.
