Bug #13159
"Controle from Here" automaticly changes on mapview
10%
Description
It took awhile to reproduce (after all i did "fully" while writing this report, pls. be patient reading and i hope i could express myself understandable), since it happend to ground vehicle (found) & spacecraft (not found), but in different ways.
1st Ground vehicle:
I have a vehicle (see supplied quicksave 1.) which has severel possible control sites - a Cockpit (root), a HECS and 2 Docking Ports jr., one each back and front.
I set "Controles from Here" the Cockpit, but when i load a savegame and switch to mapview, it automaticly switches "Controle from Here" to the rear Docking Port jr. - It doesn't matter if i move forward or if front is lower or higher in height (just wanted to be sure). It is only after load game, not when switching while driving.
2nd Spacecraft:
I had a craft, that had 3 OKTO's (all same direction) 1 active, 2 hybernating and docking port(s) (not jr.) aswell. It did not change "Controle from Here" after load and also not while flying. At some instances after switching to that craft, it switched to something other sided of those OKTO's direction (i think it was a docking port aswell). I cannot remember if mapview did this or just the switch to the craft already. I never found out the reproducable here. (This craft (with 3 experiment storage probes on Tricoupler) is already docked at minmus orbital station in savegame, a liquid fuel engine was initially at docking port which is now connected to station).
Full reproduction (after all):
In quicksave 2. provided, there is a craft called Science_Car-Minmus 1 (Multi). It's mostly the same construction as the one in quicksave 1.. As soon as you decouple the docking port from the fueltank and switching to mapview, it's changing the "Controle from Here" itself AND of the craft active on loading quicksave 2. (Science Capsule Rocket 1). It doesn't do it while still connected with fueltank.
After all, my "Car"s problem is influencing the other craft.
Both vehicles were build with mergeload and rerooting tool.
I started this career with 1.1, played through prerelease over Steam. Both vehicles were built with 1.2.
Before submit, i checked my backups and found savegame 2. where 2nd Spacecraft is still on its way. Sorry for "Storymode", but seemed most understandable to me.

I can confirm I had this same bug in 1.2.1.

I don't know if this has something to do with initial topic.
I have a craft with multiple docking ports, when i decouple 2 of them to release a part and switching back to that vehicel, "controle from here" is active on one of the now free docking ports instead of the HECS unit.

I don't know if this is related to topic, but would seem so.
When docking to another vessel, "Control from here" is changing to somewhere of the former second vessel. This is making course-/forcecorrections unpredictable and you need to realize, find part and switch to previous "Control from here" quickly.
"Control from here" shouldn't switch automaticly or provide a propertybutton on part, to prevent the next automatic switch of *Control from here".

Recently i have the issue, that "control from here" is at a part, which doesn't even have that option at all.
After i dock at another vessel and undock, "cfh" is changed to an unknown part. I have 3 parts on the vessel where "cfh" can be activated, but none of them actually HAVE "cfh".
See picture for parts capable of "cfh" and test quicksave - dock at station and release, see that navball is upside down after release/undock and "cfh" of any of that 3 parts correct navigation.
I don't remember for sure, but i think i used root-part tool while constructing. Another plea for flexible saving manual changed "control from here".
Btw.: After loading the game or switching to the scene, "cfh" seems to be wrong as well (not only after undocking).
