keys 8, 9 don't work

Cycling through the units with keys 8 and 9 doesn't work for me (any more). At least since openbeta3, I am on openbeta4 now.

I seem to remember that they did work when I first tried the game, but now they do nothing. I read that some others have the same complaint.

Without it, I often forget to move some units somewhere out there.

You might have accidently put all units on guard (0)..

Try the Q key to release guard status from all units.

best wishes,

OK, the Q did work.

But how could I have accidentally pressed 0 on all my units?
And even recently raised troops were on guard, and those were raised long after I detected the matter for the fist time?

Anyway, all is good now, must have been some silly glitch.

I have noticed this a lot myself as well, so much so that I stopped using the cycling through units.

The problem as far as I see it that the queue breaks if you move a random unit and THEN decide to cycle through the rest.
If you cycle without moving anything it works. But move anything out of order probably and you get glitches.
Everything being put on Guard somehow, and most of all 8 and 9 just doing nothing while clearly having moveable units left.

This is in the Release version, no beta's installed.
