Movement problem

I'm finding that often, despite having played the game for quite a while now, my units don't move at all even though I was sure I gave them movement orders. Somehow I must be cancelling their moves without realizing it. Anyone else have this problem and/or know a solution to it? Thanks.

Heh. In the Last week and a half, I lost my pretender, because instead of traveling with the 8 Seraphs and High Seraphs he was grouped with ... He wound up on _patrol_ all by himself when Vanheim sailed in.

I've also had units wander into the wrong destinations, and I've seen orders get changed and corrected them - typically when alt-tabbing from Dominions2 to look at another window; I believe Dominions is still looking at the mouse for a split second (mouse grab or some such), so if a commander is selected, it'll get snarled up. Also when you go to click on something like a commander portrait, it will sometimes decide you clicked on the province under the cursor, which will occasionally give the wrong move order, but will more often set the unit to defend because it couldn't move there.

I'm started to think that it's important to select an empty province before doing some actions; a bit of a PITA, but safer.
