Description

Reproduction:

Build a vessel. Use cube nodes to create a construction that
allows placing fairings close to other fairings or ship parts.
Launch it and deploy the fairing in space.

Bug:

Jettisoned debris may clip through the ship and get stuck.
As long as the ship is touching any of the debris, the following effects occur:
  • The vessel is classified "landing" instead of "sub-orbital".
  • It is shaking gently, due to the collision with the fairing.
  • Cannot go to Space Center as vessel is moving over terrain at high speeds.
  • Peri- and Apoapsis disappear, although orbital mechanics still apply.
  • Physics behave as normal. The Auto-camera twists around though.

In-game fix:

Spinning and twisting the vessel rapidly may manage to get the fairing parts out of the ship.
When no fairing is touching the vessel anymore, the "landed" vessel becomes sub-orbital again.
