Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  2. wait some other unit attack the one you had command to attack
  3. Your unit will stop attacking or moving and start to respond the new Attacker

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

Well, I think our commands should be priority above all the auto stuff that is in the game. I tried to reproduce this issue VS AI, and I only could see it when I was not commanding my units, they started attacking by proximity then this problem happened. But so many times on Multiplayer games I saw my recently commanded units stopping the action of my command to respond to a new Attacker, I have some videos and a REC to show this issue.

I was making a YT video with this matchup, at 12:45 you can see 2 Chinacos spawning from the stable and being tasked to attack Abus, as soon as the Deli starts to attack them they moved backwards to respond. For me this is anti micro behavior.
