I have seen that very annoying bug that needs to be fixed.
You have to order twice to your party NPC to move to the selected area or to attack the new ennemy you have clicked.
If you do not reselect them to move to the destination / do the action, they just stay where they were, or keep doing what they were doing.

1. In combat, I pause the game
2. I click a party member to select him/her
3. Very quickly, I move the cursor to a nearby spot and click on the ground to issue a movement command
4. Instead of acknowledging the command, the character is selected once again
5. I unpause the game and the character doesn't do what I had just told him to do
This issue is minor enough, but after having it happen to me at least 4 times now in the middle of combat, it has become a major point of frustration for me. Please fix it.
Thank you.
This bug is important for me, because I wish to play it with my wife, and I don't wanna argue with her in every battle why the characters don't do what we have agreed upon. (I couldn't download the game for her yesterday, I gave up at late night. I have to try it again today.)

For movement you can currently use a workaround - select character, then right click on destination. That works. Bug seems to be related only to left clicking...
For example, just yesterday, I sent Alora over to a chest to open it. She did so, and I saw the chest was empty, so I sent her back to where the rest of the party was. She however, instead of walking back to the party, opened the chest again.
I would think that this bug has something to do with the mouse controls, and specifically how they were changed in order to make the game work with touchscreens. Hope that helps.
When having the whole party selected and making them do a collective action (attack) and then decide to select one charracter to make a different action (move away) the game behaves as if i just re-select the charracter when i atempt said action (move)
Expected behavior: Character should move to selectd location and not get re-selected again.
I do not know if this is due to me having to run in windowed mode, but it has gotten my mage killed quite a few times as i expect the command to be valid :P
Running on windows Vista 64 bit

This is hard to reproduce completely because it is random, but I have heard other reports from other people I know of this same issue so it can't just be a problem with only my computer/configuration. I will say it happens "frequently enough to be annoying."
Already reported, sorry.
This must be somehow related to double click mouse event, since selecting characters by dragging the mouse does not cause the issue.
I updated my game and I still have the problem where you have to click 2 times, sometimes, for the character to take a action, i.e. walking!
Are you having the same problem still?
Expected Action: While the game is paused, after a single character is selected a move command can be issued on the first mouse click.
(edit to further clarify the conditions of the issue)
Selecting a character avatar in game (NOT using the selection box or character portrait) and issuing a move order (ie. clicking on ground) VERY quickly (literally in the same second) after making the selection results in character staying in place and playing the selection sound rather than moving as ordered.
Desired Behavior:
The character should move as ordered regardless of the timing between character avatar selection and a move order.
