Unresponsive when click hex in Detailed Combat

I've had some issues when trying to order a unit to move to a hex, I click on it, and it does nothing. I realize there is a pause between when you click and it moves but when this event happens, the unit doesn't move at all. It's intermittent but annoying. I suspect it is because when checking to see if it follows orders or not, a null result is returned and nothing at all happens.

The same thing sometimes happens to me. It seems to occur when I try to move to the furthest allowable hex but clicking one hex in from that usually works.

if it is what I see at times, I think you are not clicking into the right place on the hex, the click is not taking as you think, most times, it looks like you really want to click on the bottom half of the hex and not the center/top half

I realized after I posted that that's another possible reason Hardsarge. Though I haven't tested it out enough to be sure. Regardless, it happens annoyingly frequent so I must always be hitting the wrong part of the hex. I generally aim towards the middle but sadly I'm only a Marksman. :)

I've had the same thing, but as I tend to do on many things software, I just adapted to the limitation.

I've also seen this, but had thought my mouse was breaking! [:D]

LOL

sometimes, though, if you see where it don't really look like it wants to click where you are trying to click, it maybe that the unit is not going to go there, and is going to be misdereated, so I click shorter, and then correct the move when it goes to the wrong place

don't know if that is part of it or not, but I also see, if I move the mouse to a lower part of the hex, it takes it ???

Is this happening on any particular location on the screen (near the edges or similar)?

it can be anywhere, to be honest (if it is what I have seen) more often a long way away from the moving unit then close in
