Can't screw bolts or track pins
After the 1.31 update, I'm not able to screw bolts or install tracks. I see the bolts in green but right clicking does nothing. I'm using mouse and keyboard but trying my xBox One controller also fails. I brought back a finished tank from the museum and the same issue occurs. I'm able to unscrew a part but can't screw it back on. The funny thing is that on one of the tanks, I was able to screw a part but not another. I did an integrity check on my local files and no errors were found. I started a new game and I did not have the issue. Looks like corrupted save file.

Same for me (on Mac OS): can unbolt but when trying to bolt anything back on, the tool doesn't show. On a Tiger II I couldn't add any tracks, mud guards, wheel caps, ignition wires covers (engine) and bracket A (engine). Possibly more, haven't tried everything. However, on an older tank model (KV-1) adding tracks works fine.

Edit: just excavated a Hellcat (after 1.3.1 update), to see if it had anything to do with existing, pre-update model instances. Turns out no: some parts bolt on (e.g., rear cover), others won't (e.g., torsion bracket thing near the front).
