Builder Reclaim bug?

Ok so I have noticed something really annoying lately.
I will tell my builders to AOE reclaim metal, and they will randomly stop reclaiming and move back to original position...

I have noticed it multiple times in vs AI games, and a few times in team games as well.

When a group is ordered to AOE reclaim, sometimes only some of them will get the "cancel reclaim" bug, while others keep reclaiming.

At first I thought i was just screwing up commands, but i found some of them would be reclaiming, while i had other units selected, and i would watch them, only to see them do it again.

Anyone else having this issue?

quote: I've had this issue too. I think it's one of the various auto behaviour widgets over-riding your orders. I think I fixed it but couldn't tell you which widget was responsible.

The only widget I know of that does that is auto reclaim-repair-assist, which spams fight orders at idle constructors. Global Build Command -might- do something like that, but I think you'd notice the obvious GBC icons floating over your units. GBC is also not something you're likely to enable on accident and it's not enabled by default.

This is a general issue with area reclaim. Global Build Command and all of the native AIs have to work around it by adding a move order before the area reclaim command, which sort of mostly works.

Incidentally the reclaim command should be assigned to the R key by default. I use area reclaim far more often than area repair.

I'm pretty sure the culprit was actually double-click-fight in your case, but technically it could have been either one.
