Description

See attached screenshot - the Kerbal inside is a target of rescue contract and apparently also a magician, since he can fit inside such a tight space.

This happened multiple times now for me - the result of this is that they can be only saved using the Klaw.

I only saw it in 1.4.1 so far, but I assume this will happen in 1.4.2, but so far I did not have luck with it (but I only accepted three rescue contracts so far since the update).

Still a problem in 1.4.2 as well. What's more, if you grab the airlock with a claw, you still can't inflate it or transfer/EVA the kerbal out of it. His portrait is not shown in the list of passengers (evan after quick load), not even as a black portrait (Bug #18155) so this mission ends up becoming a part retrieval operation instead.

I noticed in the original photo, a mod was used, and this may be how he got the crew list to pop up, but the indicator at the bottom of that list says "1/0" which seems strange to me. Is that meant to be read as, "one of zero" and if so, what does this mean? Could there be a math problem causing some inaccessibility issues?

Save game attached with active ship and airlock attached via grabber.

Actually you can transfer them - if you click on the airlocks hatch, the EVA option does not work, but the Transfer option works fine and allows you to move them to a more spacious place.

Transfer through right click is not working though, that is true.

Thank you gASK for your tip. At first I couldn't get the menu to stay open when I left clicked on the hatch but it was because my drills were on and the ship was wobbling. When I stopped the drills and everything became stable, the menu stayed open.

The inflatable airlock should no longer spawn rescue contracts with squashed Kerbals aboard.
