Description

Ordinarily, when a part is selected (for placement) in the VAB/SPH, you can move it over the parts menu on the left side of the screen and left-click to discard the part. However, when entry purchase is enabled and the mouse is over a part which has been researched but not yet purchased, left-clicks are ignored and the part cannot be discarded.

This looks like it can be fixed by just narrowing the left-click suppression on unpurchased parts so it does not suppress clicks when an item is currently selected.

It's easy enough to work around the bug once you realize what's happening (just move the mouse somewhere else in the parts menu), but since I'm not generally paying attention to exactly where in the parts menu the mouse pointer is located when I'm trying to discard a part, this is a bit more annoying than it might seem if you haven't encountered it before.

Sorry, I thought this had been reported under 1.1.3 -- my mistake! The bug is indeed still present in 1.1.3.

Confirmed behaviour, pretty easy to drop the item elsewhere though.
