Description

With a large amount of parts loaded in-game (from mods, as stock does not have enough) the GUI begins to flicker and misbehave in the Editor Scene.

Steps to Replicate:
1) Unzip attached file into GameData folder and start KSP.
2) Enter the Editor scene.
3) build a Cupola vessel (one part).
4) Select each of the part categories one by one.
5) Begin hovering over parts in the part picker, selecting random categories (usually one of the ones with lots of parts in it).
Expected: No screen flicker, artefacts.

Fixes/Workarounds:
- run stock or have less than 300+ parts loaded.

Notes:
Does not occur in stock.

This problem is low priority for a stock game, but is a high priority for modded installs. Upped the priority to high.

One can view/install this .ckan configÂ file ( http://pastebin.com/fs5rTMWG ) , start the game, start a new career, go to the VAB, move the mouse and the UI/Toolbar is gone.

Just tested it again.Â However, it is a huge list. Maybe it helps anyway, cause one can directly reproduce the UI / toolbar issue without much work. Maybe just to compare if it's gone.
