Now, Slick, I've done just about all of the ones in your extensive list. And I've read, I think, all the boo-boos listed here. But, I haven't read this one:

You click on a fleet to see where it's headed (I always have "movement lines" turned on). Look around a bit, click on a few systems here and there. THEN, you forget you have that fleet selected, THINK you have another selected and say to yourself, "Ahhh, THIS fleet needs to move to this warp hole." and click the "move to" order and then the warp hole. Of course, you see next turn that you had the wrong fleet selected and it's (usually) moving exactly in the wrong direction.
