How to reproduce:
reach solar system edge, then add two destination points: shattered planet and solar system edge without conditions.
Problem:
Ship travel back and forth every frame making UI for selecting surface unclickable. So I have unplayable save file, because there is no way to select that ship to reset the destinations loop. Edit: after waiting for some time it fixes self, because ship have condition for speed, so it runs out of fuel and flickers not so fast. But without that condition it would've been dead lock if ship if fully self supplied, which it is. Well, it would run out of nuclear after ~200 hours

Looks like the same symptom presented in 123102 but with a totally different cause. In the earlier thread they didn't actually fix the GUI flashing-unelectable issue, which probably needs to happen after all.

You can click 'Paused Thrust' to stop it

I could've done that or modified the broken schedule, but I'm unable to select this ship or any other surface, and my character is on Nauvis. So, that interface is not available while surface selection is broken

Thanks for the report. This seems like a duplicate of 120886 which is fixed in the experimental release.

120886 was fixed in 2.0.24. I can reproduce UI flickering in 2.0.25.

However, I was still able to switch to the platform, either directly by clicking the flickering entry, or by keyboard shortcut Up/Down.
