That's one of the most hillarous bugs I've ever seen.:D
Let's go:

1. Load attached save file
2. Turn off the SI if necessary
3. Move with Kagain a bit towards the Nexlit postition
4. Listen to Nexlit about how Ursa will protect the Xvarts
5. Watch Nexlit the Xvart being massacred by Ursa the protector of Xvarts
6. Laugh hard

*Observed*
Ursa attacks Nexlit and kills him

*Expected*
Ursa should not be hostile towards Nexlit (or any Xvart at all)

    Hasn't this always been the case? That Ursa got fed up with the xvarts?
    Or am I remembering things wrong?

    Well I've never actually seen this before... Ursa is attacking Nexlit even in this particular case, when my team is standing much closer to him than the little blue guy. It almost seems like he was programmed to attack Nexlit.

    It is.

    There is this line of code in Nexlit dialogue file:

    ActionOverride("Ursa",Attack("Nexlit"))
    So this was intended behaviour. By the way, it is the same in vanilla and (Easy)Tutu, but not in BGT. In BGT that line of code is missing and therefore Ursa does not attack Nexlit.

    It's intentional, it a bit of comedy that the original devs slipped in.

    Hm, now I understand why I wasn't aware of this "feature". I was playing BGT for the past few years before BG:EE. While I still think of it as a bug, I understand that I will face a major coalition of "BG1 bugs and exploits fandom" if I suggest to fix this.
    Anyway - thank you for your explanations guys.

    I'll mark it up as not an issue for now.
    Thanks

    @macu67, it is unlikely this will ever be changed officially, but if you are interested, I wrote for you a small WeiDU mod that does it.
