Report a translation problem
I've only played single-player skirmishes thus far so I couldn't say if it's a mode-specific issue.
Edit: After further testing, updated the OP to more accurately represent the problem.
I just started a game specifically to play with this issue and found something I can reliably reproduce. After pressing A to set the Attack-Move cursor, if you move the mouse 'while' left-clicking to issue the order (which drags a square selection-field), this will happen every time. If you're trying to issue several quick A-move orders and the mouse is moving at all when you click, this is very easy to do accidentally.
I tried it with the starting engineer and no local activity and it happened every time. Seems likely that I was just doing that accidentally and the terrain had nothing to do with it. What I think 'should' happen (the behavior in other RTS's that I'm familiar with): when the attack-move cursor is selected, the drag-box function is disabled and if the cursor moves while the click is being held, the order will be issued to the cursor-point when the click is released.
Appreciate you looking into the issue and thanks for setting up a reporting forum.
Just so I know for prioritization, is there any serious playability issue that comes from this? or just a weird thing that goes back to normal after your next click? I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something obvious.
Well, since calling out specific targets isn't as common as in other games (due to the army system), I issue attack-move orders for my armies all the time and when I'm trying to quickly manage a firefight or set up a quick interception, losing 5 seconds here or there to these lock-ups is incredibly annoying. Things do go back to normal after clearing the cursor with a right-click but it can easily happen again the next time you repeat the same steps in a rush.
Perhaps my control style is an oddity - I'm surprised more people haven't run into this but like I said, for my part, it's my #1 annoyance right now. Prioritize as you like. For now, I'm just glad you're aware of it.
