Bug #21537
(now reproduceable) 1.4.2 - 1.6.1 Certain crafts cause resolution changes from a lower one to native when certain crafts are loaded into a scene.
10%
Description
Related to #21431 #19435 #18205 (though it isn't reproduce-able with #18205)
KSP 1.3.1 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, 1.4.5, 1.5.1, 1.6.1
Issue:
If a player uses a lower resolution than the native one in full screen (e.g. use 1440x900 when when native resolution is 1920x1080)
when changing scenes with certain crafts the resolution will default to native if KSP isnt in focus, i.e. alt tabbing to something else or with multi screen setups and selecting something on the other screen(mine being 2 total)
Note some crafts cause this to happen. some don't. I have attached several craft files which will give different results.
I don't know exactly what is causing it, but was able to get the additional craft files to give a negative and inconsistent result.
Steps to reproducing:
1. Load the craft 'Kerbin Reentry Pod Dispenser.craft' in the VAB.
2. Launch the craft.
3. Quickly change to another window via Alt Tabbing or choosing focusing on another monitor (still happens if only one monitor is working)
4. Sometimes it may take a few tries, due to timing I think more than anything.
It will work if changing to the same craft when its in orbit from the tracking station.
Note:
Kerbin Reentry Pod Dispenser.craft was created in 1.3.0 but
Resolution Bug Negative.craft was created/manipulated in 1.5.1 and
Resolution Bug Positive Eventually.craft was created/manipulated in 1.5.1.
Additional Testing Crafts:
Resolution Bug Negative.craft Does NOT cause the bug to happen ever
Resolution Bug Positive Eventually.craft will cause the issue if the craft is reverted to VAB and then launched again and again a few times.
Work Around:
Dont use full screen.

Hi - I've also had this issue affect the homescreen (floating kerbals).

Updated by Wow. Nice video (which I watched from beginning to end)
Adding all the comments to the video. All good stuff.
Never doubted your intelligence, the issue is the phrasing of what you think of Squad's ability or lack of ability with testing.
Being polite about an issue is a much better way of getting a positive result of the hard work of reporting a bug
The problem with this resolution bug is that somehow it appears to be related to the craft in some way. I spent most of my
weekend trying to get down to the exact issue.
In the end I got to the point of having the problem happen on one craft and not on another.
We have proven theres a problem. Its not right for me to confirm the bug, as I created this new bug report.
Can you turn Status from New to Confirmed Gamelinx?
If you cant do it. can someone else please...I get the impression we are running out of time to get this fixed before 1.7

I'm unable to change the status. The bug has happened with seemingly every single craft I have tried, it seems like the tabbing out causes it, although it has happened without tabbing out so that might not be the case.
The completion level on my version of the bug report is "10%", but i am not quite sure what that actually means. Hopefully it's been noticed and worked on!

Cool that comment is enough. I will confirm it for you.
The alt tabbing is focusing away from KSP which seems to be the only time it happens.
Oh...its not making history related prototype, it happens without the expansion
