Description

The part offset tool has been a tad annoying in that it doesn't truly isolate to one axis, it will always move a part in another axis by a single-step in the least. The Landing gear shown in this gif is an extreme example of it, where normally it just offsets your boosters or whatever part you may be offsetting.

in the gif I merely click on the red arrow, and the gear moves to the other side of the ship...

Woops forgot the output log here ye go. There's nothing really in there error wise.

Hi SilverFox8124, this is more an anoying behavior than a bug, and has been around for quite some time now. Try turning off auto-snap (default "c" key, or the icon next to symmetry), it usually fix the problem although some parts or particular situations will still move on an other axis than the one selected.

I just tried it(pressing c to turn off part snapping) and it still produced the same results. Would you like me to gif that as well?

Unfortunately a known issue at the moment. Some of the colliders on the fixed landing gear had to be removed to prevent certain wheel issues. That results in a confusing situation for the editor, which relies on those colliders to calculate offset distance.
