:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The shift right click resets your army stance to line formation. Its very annyoing cause every time i set my control groups by pressing shift and right click at the same time to move my army their stance gets reset.
It means my army goes out of box formation all the time when i want to keep them in the former.
It would be nice if it was at least an option to turn off the shift right click.

Keep the formation they had.

Hi @NOC_Terz1
Do you mean that with CTRL + click the formation gets reset? Ctrl + right click does a runaway/escape move command. Right now there is not an option to disable it other than using the launch parameter DISABLE_RUNAWAY_ESCAPE_MOVE.

Yes thank you.
Imo would be best if it wouldnt reset the formation to line formation and instead kept the current one.
But being able to disable it at all helps me a lot 11 using box formation has been a pain for me (especially cause i set control groups very often)
