Bug #22023
Controls lock for no reason whatsoever
0%
Description
So basically, my controls just decided to lock for no reason. This literally hasn't happened to me until now, where it's happened three times in a row. This is weird, because I've been playing this game a lot in the past few days, you'd expect for me to have seen it sooner and on more spread out occasions. It happened even though I have plenty of electricity, and I have a connection, so I should be able to do stuff. When it happens, the SAS and RCS buttons will go dull (like when you're in a time warp). You lose the ability to pan the camera around, and you can't open the pause menu. It also prevents you from switching to or from map mode. If you're in map mode, your stuck there. If you're in normal mode, you're stuck there. Also, you can't Start time warp, whether by clicking the interface or by using "," and "." and "/". You can't enter that interface where you can change the classification of your craft (lander, satellite, rover, etc.), but for some reason you can still open KSPedia. As, stated in the title, you also can't change the thrust, change the orientation of the ship, or really anything of that matter. There doesn't seem to be any obvious cause for this, so I'm confused. I've linked an unlisted video (https://youtu.be/SRCfkggoMDk) I've uploaded that shows the bug happening. Sorry for block of text, Squad pls fix.

Updated by EDIT: I have found a fix to the problem! Even though this bug doesn't let you open up the menu, you can open up the debug menu with alt+f12, go to the console tab, then go to the input locks section and click "clear input locks". However, the bug still exists in the first place and should be fixed, because some players may just not figure out the temporary solution.

Updated by Looking at your video, it looks like the problem began as soon as you clicked the "advanced orbital info" tab in the lower left of the screen. Does trying to pick a different tab and get back out of that mode fix it? Could it be something connected to being in that mode?

I'm not sure what does cause it, but I doubt it's the advanced orbital info tab, because this bug had happened multiple times, and I know that I hadn't pressed it every time (the first time it happened, I was just sort of sitting there looking at the screen). I do know, however, that the majority of the times it had happened was in the upper atmosphere of Kerbin or in LKO, but it has happened a few times when I was around or approaching one of the moons, so it's probably just a coincidence. I had previously thought that it was only happening to satellites, but was proven wrong when it happened to a manned mission.
The fact that the input lock section of the alt+f12 debug menu recognizes that certain inputs are locked (and allows you to clear them, which is a fix) might ring some alarm bells or point to the direction/cause of the bug for some people, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the innards of the game. Maybe it thinks it's out of electric or out of range to control, turns off controls, and then realizes its mistake and change the ui back to normal, but forgets to unlock the controls?

This bug persists in the latest version. All vessel and UI controls cease as described in the OP. It has occurred, for me, exclusively when launching to orbit from Kerbin and always when looking at orbit info and more commonly advance orbital info. Debug console shows "Exception: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an Instance of an object" when this occurs. Clean install and has the potential to occur with any type of vessel being launched.
