"launch ships" bugs

from GalCiv2 Forums
Well the bug is complex and not sure 100% reprodusable so I will explain in steps what I did.

1. Got notification that my planet built constructor.

2. By mistake moved fleet of 3 ships there (rightckicked instead of left) , nm.

3. This (2) "disbanded" fleet (is it OK btw?) making it 3 separate ships on orbit.

4. Now I wanted to move out constructor and in same time "eject" fleet from the planet, so I launched everryone (4 ships = 1 constructor + 3 phoenixs -compain mission 3 btw).

5. No I see on the big screen that constructor selected and move it on starbase - what moved ? - Phoenix !!! , another right click - another phoenix , 3rd - the same and while moving they look as constructor !!! only at "final destination" they become phoenixes.

Well that's the bug, encoutered it couple of times but only once could remember my steps.

Fleets do disband when the go into orbit - that seems to be the intention. If build an orbital fleet manager ships in orbit will defend as fleets based on your logistics (but I digress).

There have been other posts about the issue with selecting and moving ships and the associated "wonky" behavior (just saw that word in another post and had to use it).

I can usually get around this issue IF I notice that I have multiple ships selected. Sometimes I'll have ships multiselected from two entirely different stacks - and I have no idea how I did it. I have to click around and do tricks til one and only one are selected, then move it. Even so, sometimes it seems as if sometimes I have other ships selected and the selection isn't showing on the screen and I end up moving multiple ships at once. No clue how this happens. For example, I might've been moving around some transports that were in a stack but never grouped. Then I select a warship to move. Somehow all the transports, even though I saw no indication of them being selected, will move to the same place I send the warship. It's brutal.

Also if we talking about selection problems sometimes if you have a ship/fleet "sitting on" starbase and want to see ship's info , you select it (make sure starbase unselected) in middle bottom box and then press (i) and get ... starbase stats .
Same goes wise versa.
