Situation: you have a vessel A that is docked to a vessel B, which in turn is attached to a vessel C.
When modifying the attachment point on vessel C (translating or rotating), vessel B reflects those changes. However, all docking ports (and presumably attachment points) of vessel B remain at their former position. As a result, vessel A does not update and remains in its position.
The problem even persists when undocking and redocking vessel A from vessel B. That is, it persists if it was vessel B that initiates the undocking and redocking. If vessel A does the redocking, the docking port will update. (scratch this, wrong interpretation. see next paragraph. How do you make text scratched?)
Here's how it really goes:
If B does the redocking, the docking port will not update if the docking was committed with "bring me to current target position", but it will update if the target vessel is moved. If A does the redocking it is vice versa, the positions will not update if "bring target to my current position" is selected. I.e. the docking ports on B will update if A is moved in the docking process, but not if B is moved. what gives?
Here's a simple scenario to reproduce the problem with universal cargo deck (needs universal cargo deck to run, obviously):
Code:
BEGIN_DESC
modify the position or rotation of GL-02 in the payload manager of cargodeck. SH-03 remains docked, but does not reflect the changes.

Repro instructions:
modify position or rotation of GL-02 in the payload manager. You will see the shuttle SH-03, which is docked to GL-02, will not reflect those changes.
Go to the scenario editor, select GL-02, edit, docking. You will see that the vessels are still docked. Undock SH-03, and redock, and it will dock in the same position as before if you selected "bring me to current target position", but in the correct position if you select the other option.
The same goes for undocking via SH-03, except that the options are inversed.
This goes so far as to even conserve velocity. As an additional test, jettison GL-02 from cargodeck. This will give it and SH-03 velocity relative to GL-01. Now, reattach GL02 to cargodeck, and you will see SH-03 still moving away with the same velocity it had before, although when you edit it in the scenario editor, you will see that it is indeed still docked to GL-02.
All this has been produced without universal cargo deck, so it is not a UCD problem. UCD is merely the most convienient way of reproducing the bug.
