Ships stay selected at random...

...but don't show up in the lower window.

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have a problem that seems to occur at random. Sometimes when I click on a ship or fleet, the ship(s) I selected previously do not become deselected. (The ships are on different tiles.)

This means when I give orders to my ships, I'm accidentally giving orders to other ships, which then change course and decide to head off into the unknown.

It doesn't happen constantly, so I don't know how to predict what is causing it.. The only workaround I've found is to click on a planet/star after giving orders, before clicking on the next ship.

Does anyone know what causes this?

This happens when you select ships that are in a stack. If you select a ship in a stack and move it you have to select it agian after moving it off of the stack.

This annoys the hell out of me. I often click on ships just to get a read on how much movement points they have so I can avoid activating the Autopilot when I next assign them the move or so I can see how much room I have when I'm reorganizing fleets.

Ok, thanks PiTiFUL. I'll watch what I'm doing with stacks, and try to be a bit more careful. Although, I'd prefer it if clicking on ships in another tile just deselected it automatically.
