CSI targeting cubes get left behind as debris

Well, um, this is a wierd one and I don't know where to begin, so I'll just copy from the post I made in the model rework thread.

One thing that I'm definetly sure about is that it has something to do with the 'freeattach link' link mode, I think.
Issueedit: Oh, I have -force-openGL on in steam launch options and I know it makes those pink rings in the rotate gizmo, so, having openGL forced may or may not make a difference. I just thought of the openGL thing a moment ago.

Edit: Remember those little pink cubes? Well, they somehow got generated as debris when I recovered a craft (actually, not sure when they got generated). Edit2: Got it, it happens when I click freeattach link, don't actually link, then click recover vessel. Or rather it happened at least once of the two attempts.

Edit3: Okay, I managed to reproduce them in orbit around minmus while trying to get some uncooperative struts to link. They show as landed, 20km above minmus.....

When I tried to go to one (I didn't know what they were at first), it fell through the world after a few seconds and caused KSP to have a massive fit, had to force close the program.

It is not a bug per se, it is the way free attach works. It creates a dummy part that is transparent, and attaches the strut to it. They are pink due to OpenGL handling the shader for transparency incorrectly.

So, they're being generated because I have -force-opengl on in steam launch options?

The fact that they aren't getting cleaned up is the root bug though.
