Bug #5042
unable to exit 'strut mode' with a single part in VAB/SPH
100%
Description
In the VAB or SPH if you have a single part and you attach the first point of a strut to it then you are unable to exit the strut mode / cancel the strut untill you place the other end of the strut which you can not do because you only have one part and you can not select another part to add.

Confirmed.
While there are some parts you can get the strut to at least try to attach it self (Mk-1 Command Pod) I was able to reproduce the issue with the Mk1 Cockpit. While this is silly in this situation there really should be a way to get out of strut mode.
Steps to reproduce:
Place Mk1 Cockpit in either the VAB or SPH
Place a strut point at the mid point of the craft
You cannot place the other end point and can't exit strut mode
Expected result
Should be a key press to back out of strut mode at any point. ESC would be a good choice.

Updated by EddieRod1285 Oh I know I hate when this happens! But don't expect anymore fixes from SQUAD or a Unity 5 port or 64 bit! KSP has been abandoned sadly!

You can get out of strut mode by pressing DELETE.
