Kerbal Space Program

Description
When launching a craft after removing a DeployedScience item the DeployedScience item shows up on the launch pad hovering in mid air and glowing red.

Steps to Replicate
1) Enter the VAB and place a probecore with a SEQ-3 cargo storage unit on it.
2) Load any of the DeployedScience items into the SEQ-3 container.
3) Remove the (just added) DeployedScience item and drop it off to the side – it should be glowing red now as it's not part of the vessel but is in the editor.
4) Launch the vessel.
5) Hit escape and “Revert Flight”/”Revert to VAB”

Expected
The vessel should appear on the pad but the DeployedScience item should not. Returning to the VAB and the unattached items should be gone.

Observed
The vessel appears on the pad and the DeployedScience item appears floating in the air and glowing red near by (From the VAB it seems to usually be over in the exaust shoot towards the flag). Returning to the VAB the unattached items are still present.
