Ships with move are not found when using "Find"

If I try to cycle through my ships and go past a ship, which still has movement left, the ship is not found when I reach the end of the ships list.

might want to check and see if the find button starts scrolling through the list from the point of the last or current ship selected. this may cause the find button to reach the end of the list and not having started from the top skip ships that were above the start point. not sure if this part is right but does the find button clear the moves of ships if you keep hitting the find button looking for a particular ship?

No, it doesn't. You can easily go back to the ship manually and spend the rest of its move.

I've experienced that the green frame around ships disappear when I use "Find" on them - and the Game tries to cycle between ships with move left.

Tab works better, the find button doesn't work very well.

Nice! Perhaps you could give us a brief on which keyboard keys are meaningfull in the game?

Finding fleets is a function that will really benefit from a fleet overview screen. Something which tells you each ship, it's destination and moves left. I'm sure this is already planned,

I am finding that the tab key has the same problem. If you tab past a ship without moving it, the
tab key will no longer find the ship.

OK, the Find key is now using the same code as the Tab key, so it should work at least partially. As for it not finding the ship again with the tab key, you should be able to find it the next turn when all the search marks are cleared. I'll play with the code to see if I can get it to find the ship again before the next turn without it continually staying on that ship.

The Auto-Move (I think) actually makes some of your ships absolutely unselectable - at least until they reach their destination.

Also I have the green frame disappear from ships, both when I cycle through them (TAB and Find) and when I click on them.

Furthermore I have ships that become immobile and inert. Can't get to them or move them in any way.. Unfortunately there's no indications in the debug.err.
