I think these two are related...Sometimes, when putting a mindworm mass on patrol through a mess of xenofungus in an attempt to find and tame more mindworms, using the spacebar to set waypoints, a green line will shoot off the screen, pointing to (I believe) the nearest city, and the mass will suddenly turn into a demon boil. It has all the characteristics of one, it is as tough as and as powerful as one. This does not always happen, sometimes it'll happen four times in a row and then never again, sometimes not at all.
Possibly related, when I am trying to send a unit somewhere, I click and hold on the destination square, a green line shoots off the screen, again, I believe, to the nearest city, or possibly the city of origin of the unit, the arrow turns yellow, and a screen pops up asking if I want to redirect land/sea/air production from a city to this location. I hit cancel and retry, and it works normally.
