Description

When going to EVA, and trying to board vessels again, kerbal still stands at ladder.
It seems that there is null body of same kerbal inside of vessels but you can see kerbal standing at ladder.

This has happened couple times now, unfortunately i dont have Quick save to share but will share if it happens again.

Both times this happened with docked vessels using docking port Jr. When i undocked vessels before did go Eva, problem didnt happen. This happened couple times now, or it of mun and surface of mun.

I cant share quick save because when this happens it says game cannot be saved when there is kerbals at ladder, but that kerbal isn't controllable. I have screenshot of this happening tho.

I think you can let go of the ladder and save while the Kerbal floats nearby.

I often have the issue of not being able to get out for EVA after docking with a space plane due to cockpit hatches being "obstructed" even though I have enough space, but I've never been prevented from getting back in.

I can even board the cockpit during times when it won't let me back out due to this "obstruction".

It seems my issues are almost the exact opposite of yours.

Reply to Deepspeed: Sometimes you can let go ladder, sometimes kerbal on ladder is null and you actually can't move him. That is what happened on screenshot gameplay.

Were you using any mods?
This looks very bad. The console shows a red exception and the Kerbal is not responding and the portrait is not working. The game has actually crashed but partially still working.

If you can make it happen again upload your KSP.log file. It's a copy of everything in the console. If you use Steam it should be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program

Now it happened again, i were building mun mining base, were using eva construction mode while boarding vessel, Now i have 2 engineer Nulls on both pod entries and one engineer is inside of vessel, he can't get out anymore because those null engineers are blocking all entries.

This one is hard to reproduce, i used save game to load game where it was before this bug and did everything like previously: Used eva construct to move docking ports closer to each other on both vessels, until they docks. Entered vessel and no Null was generated this time. It might be that i have to enter vessels physics range by flying and then this can occur if you don't move to space center or tracking center before entering IVA, more tests needed.

So far this has happened only with engineers.
