Second cockpit breaks ALL ship controls permanently

Read the steps for replication, this is not a newbie user error.

Using a second cockpit while the first one is not marked as main permanently makes all present and future cockpits unusable for navigation, even after removal of the first/second/both cockpits. Any cockpit will report "Seat/remote with higher priority is already occupied".

This happens constantly and deterministically. Judging by the reddit posts [1] [2], this problem appeared at least 7 years ago.

Steps for replication: (creative, no mods, default settings)

1. On a large grid platform, place a cockpit, a battery, and a gyroscope.
2. Sit in the cockpit and wiggle a platform to ensure your input is handled.
3. Place a second cockpit and sit in it. Wiggle a bit, but don't leave the cockpit.
4. Open the control panel and configure the first cockpit as the main one.
5. Observe that you can't wiggle in the second cockpit — as expected ✔
6. Sit in the first, now main, cockpit — observe that there is a message "Seat/remote with higher priority is already occupied" and that you can't manipulate the platform ❌

Further user actions in a non-creative world cannot fix this issue. Removing any of the cockpits don't help. Completely removing/destroying all cockpits don't help. My second rover-base is now static defense because I can't make a simple robotic arm controller in an engineering game.

I try to wiggle every time I enter a cockpit
