Parts do not connect in editor on game start

[Matt]

Hello, I would like to report a bug I have where parts will not connect in the editor. This occurs when the game first starts and persists. The game version I am currently on is v2025.11.8.2847 but I have had this bug occur since the first version I downloaded v2025.11.4.2791.

What I expected to happen

After clicking on the editor debug option and setting "connecting" and "snapping" to enable, I expected for parts to snap together and stay connected after I leave the editor.

What happened

In the editor parts will not connect when "connecting" is enabled. When I drag parts they stay grayed out and will not connect to the vessel. this bug occurs regardless of if "snapping" is enabled or disabled. This occurs on completely new saves with no mods installed.

Steps to reproduce

1. open KSA, hover over "View" tab, scroll to "debug", click "editor".
2. enable "connecting" and "snapping".
3. remove part from vessel
4. drag part back to vessel, the part remains unconnected
5. select new part and drag it to vessel, this also will not connect
6. exit editor, no parts that I place will remain connected
