Bug #9325
New UI Broken with symmetry
0%
Description
Summary:
When a set of parts are on a craft in symmetry and right clicking to the part to bring up the context menu, locking the context menu then rick clicking the symmetrical part on the other side of the craft will no longer allow any context menu to be brought up while right clicking. Unlocking the previously locked context menu does not reset this behavior and the context menu will no longer disappear when right clicking. The number of symmetrical parts does not matter (Tested with SPH,2x,3x,4x,5x,6x and 8x symmetry) .
Steps to reproduce:
-Launch any ship with symmetry from VAB or SPH
-Right Click to bring up context menu UI Element on any symmetrical part
-Lock UI Element
-Right Click any symmetrical part that is NOT the one previously clicked
-Context menu functionality will now be broken but can still be interacted with
Workaround:
Switching to tracking station, other vehicles or changing scenes in general will return the UI to normal.

Just tested this with the Windows x64 build of KSP 1.1. and can confirm. Right clicking on symmetrical parts after locking a context menu will completely disable any interaction with parts. Switching to the map does not help, leaving the vessel altogether is a workaround.

Open and Pin the first action window, and hold the mod key together with right mouse click to open others in the same symmetry group.
On Mac that is the command key, and Windows, ALt.

The bug is not that I cannot open context menus on multiple parts in symmetry but that when the Steps to Reproduce are followed, I can no longer open or close any more context menus until I switch away from the craft.

Thank you for the clarification, and yes we are able to confirm this behaviour as a bug.
