Group of units doesn't respond

[el_muchacho]

I think I've experienced a bug with a fairly large number of ground units (say ~20 kbots) near the top of a mountain, with two static units (one canon and one radar). When I wanted to select all the units of the area to tell them to move, they would just stand still, until I deselect the two static units, after which the group would start to move.
In the middle of hot action, this bug is very annoying.

Not really a bug, when units of different types are selected the one that will decide default (rmb) orders are decided at (more or less) random. So since the default order for buildings is to do nothing thats what the group will do if a building is selected to decide. You can still move using the move command + lmb.

Hmm, ok.
But wouldn't it better to default to "move" or "attack" when the order given is to move (i.e click somewhere else on the map)/attack and just ignore the static units/buildings that don't have those capabilities ?

Because when I play, I want to be able to select the units in a rectangular area defined with the mouse and tell them "move there" at once, and not have to select each one of the units or deselect the wrong ones.

Idea: when you drag-select both buildings and
units, only units should get selected.

When your base is attacked by, say, a Krogoth, maybe you want all your towers to attack the enemy too. But factories and radars don't need to be selected.

That can be done with the selection editor.
Choose all map, must be building and weapons.
I set not builder not commander aslo, but maybe that is redundant.
Some keys dont work as trigger keys (dont know why), so choose something that every kb has, like Ctrl+Shift+K.

Hmmm, excellent, I hadn't paid attention to this feature. Grreat !
