Maybe not "normal" (as in real life), but if their comrades are meleing unit F while the whole squad was ordered to fire at S, and S is out of range, it's certainly understandable - from a programmatic POV.

they had hold and attack closest. In this case F, unless closest is determined initially and not recomputed, but I dont even want to take into account this stupid possibility.

Friendly fire fear is certainly not a possibility, as the algorithm presiding it will still order a whole host of crossbowmen to fire on a single enemy unit just close to your men. PDF gave a good example, and I have also one from a Last turn. 25 Hoburgs Xbow men (mine) firing against a single enemy (a light inf), which happen to be adjacent to 6 abysian infantries... Dont tell me that the friendly fire algo is smart here.
