Wrong Unit moving Bug - 3/20/2007 6:02:34 PM

I've had a recurring problem of the wrong land unit marching out of a stack. At first, I chalked it up to being a putz and not paying attention to who I gave orders to, but I think I've uncovered a bug (version 1.804, allies vs AI, stock).

Ok behaviour: I click on the land unit icon on the map and get the unit list. I select a unit and I get the detailed screen and it's icon at the bottom of the screen is highlighted. I issue move orders and all is well.

Not so ok behaviour: I select the hex. When clicking the flag icon at the bottom of the screen I get the usual list of units. I select one and the info screen pops up normally, however the highlighted unit at the bottom of the screen does not move to the unit I'm looking at. It remains on whatever was highlighted when I selected the hex. As near as I can figure, move orders are not going to the unit whose information screen is open, but to the unit highlighted at the bottom.

If I select the unit directly from it's icon at the bottom of the screen, this seems to work correctly.

You see in the second case that the move orders don't appear in the detailed info screen for the unit you selected. But it took me a while to realise that they were actually going elsewhere (there's already so many ways for a unit to refuse to move).

Sorry no saves, as it's an interface problem - but I could try to post screenshots if necessary. It's been pretty much 100% reproducible, at least for me (although you never know)

Ive been having the same problems, in my stock PBEM game as the Allies.

What I have also noticed is that if there is an HQ in the same hex, most of the time the move order will be given to the first HQ shown on the bottom.

In similar bug news, I also, especially in China and Burma, have a hard time getting anything to move to a hex. I click in the middle of the hex for the move order and NOTHING plans on moving there.

Just small bugs, but annoying none the less.

Bump,

Just wondering if any dev was able to check this and confirm the bug.
