Description

If you go to the VAB/SPH and put something landing related (landing legs/wheels, might work for more, I didn't test everything) on a parent part, then drag it back off and then hit ctrl+z (so it reapears on the parent part), you can use the ofset tool, to drag these parts to infinity.

Confirmed in 1.1.2 as well. Looks like an aspect of #8641 that got missed.

Checked some other parts and yes, it's just the landing legs, gears, and wheels that have the issue.

Confirmed. Though I just want to organize those steps a little more clearly:

1. Go to VAB
2. Select a base module (probe will do)
3. Select a landing gear or wheel
4. Attach to base module
5. Immediately remove from base
6. While still holding the part, press control+z
7. Drop the old part anywhere
8. Select offset tool and click on the restored landing part
9. Drag part with offset arrows
10. Observe limitless offset

Note: Take care not to first select a different object with the offset tool, as that will fix the problem and the bug will not happen. In fact, dragging the bugged object beyond normal limits, then selecting a different object for offset and then going back to offset the bugged part and dragging will immediately snap the bugged part back to normal limits.

The bug only seems to be related to landing gear, landing struts, and wheels. I tested a few modules from various other groups, like science, transmitters, parachutes, ect... none were bugged.

Confirmed Bugged Parts:
LT-05 Micro Landing Strut
LT-1 Landing Struts (why is this pluralized?)
LT-2 Landing Strut
LY-01 Fixed Landing Gear
LY-05 Steerable Landing Gear
LY-10 Small Landing Gear
LY-35 Medium Landing Gear
LY-60 Large Landing Gear
LY-99 Extra Large Landing Gear
RoveMax Model M1
RoveMax Model S2
RoveMax Model XL3
TR-2L Ruggedized Vehicular Wheel
