Description

SAS becomes inactive while the direction selector is selected for "Prograde", "Retrograde", "Normal", "Anti-Normal", "Radial", "Anti-Radial" and "Maneuver", then clicking in the left stick to switch from controlling the spacecraft to using the cursor. The spacecraft acts as if SAS function is off.

Steps to Replicate:
1) Use any mode (sandbox, science or career)
2) Build a spacecraft with SAS functionality.
3) Equip a pilot with the ability to use additional SAS directional assistance (Using the Y button)
4) Launch rocket and become stable in orbit
5) Align the spacecraft to "Prograde"
6) Press Y button and select SAS tab
7) Select "Orbit Prograde" and press Y button to exit SAS assistance menu
8) Start engine throttle (any%)
9) Click in on left stick (to switch to cursor mode)

Expected: Spacecraft would continue on "Prograde" trajectory

Result: Spacecraft acts as if SAS is turned off completely and flies in any direction

Workarounds:
- After clicking in on the left stick again SAS will become active and re-correct itself to selected direction.
- Never clicking the left stick to enter cursor mode

Notes:
- SAS "Stability Assist" works with these conditions
- Have not tested "Target" and "Anti-Target" direction selection
