[glitch] purchasing nodes in 1.8.1 with insufficient funds

[rayanth]

Observed in 1.8.1 with only the following mods, in a brand new CKAN instance and (career) save game:

• ClickThrough Blocker (ClickThroughBlocker 0.1.9.5)
• KSPCasher Continued (KSPCasherCont 0.3.0.1)
• Toolbar Controller (ToolbarController 1:0.1.9.4)
• Zero MiniAVC (ZeroMiniAVC 1:1.1.0.1)
• (and MechJeb2, 2.9.2, installed manually)

[ ] have sufficient science but insufficient funds for a node [ ] purchase the node in tech tree [ ] observe:

• kspcasher message about insufficient funds
• science reduced
• node turns green
• parts in node turn to 'owned'

[ ] exit tech tree. [ ] observe:

• science returned to pre-purchase level

[ ] return to tech tree immediately [ ] observe:

• purchased node no longer green
• parts IN node still show 'owned'

[ ] exit tech tree [ ] enter vab [ ] observe:

• purchased parts not available

[ ] exit vab [ ] enter tech tree [ ] observe:

• node still not green
• parts no longer show 'owned'

Expected behavior: [ ] If insufficient funds, but sufficient science is available, EITHER:

• science is used to buy the node or
• the node does not indicate being unlocked with science, and then revert after exiting R&D or entering VAB.

Just to clarify - I recognize that based on the description of the mod it is supposed to switch tech tree to funds-only purchases, and that you can convert science to funds.

What I'm reporting is that if you do try to purchase a tech without sufficient funds, it is very easy to be misled into thinking you actually did get the tech, because it shows in the tech tree as unlocked when you click it, and then even if you go back into the tech tree right away it still shows the parts unlocked.
