Failed to reproduce on first attempt of three standard ports on a 1-to-3 coupler. The alignment was "unclean", but the right click option indicated all three pairs were coupled.

Successfully reproduced using three Sr ports attached to separate Jumbo-64 tanks. Logs report a fault in "PartJoint" module. See attached log at timestamp 23:25:29.

This was literally the first thing I went to do when I got 1.1. Made me so sad. I hadn't done it often, so I thought I was my mistake until I read this. I was trying with pairs of Juniors. Broke every time.

I think this may now be fixed.

I tested this with a vessel I had previously experienced this bug.

The vessel is a long "wagon train" rover (like this one: http://imgur.com/rt6A6Gk), coupled with Jr. docking ports. Two of the segments are connected by two docking ports, one vertically above the other.

In 1.1, merely launching this vessel onto the runway was enough to cause one of four docking ports in that two-pairs arrangement to break off.

In 1.1.3 I was able launch the vehicle, drive it around, and uncouple / redock the two-port connection without any of the docking ports breaking off.

Thank you for your update cpcallen, this confirms my tests that work undertaken to fix docking prior to the release of 1.1.3 was successful.
