When I station an air unit in a city and put in on alert, shift-L, that unit almost inevitably runs away. Sometimes it takes a few turns but eventually the needlejet/copter goes flying off into the blue. I tried this with gravships and saw that one turn I shift-L'd about 6 grav-interceptors. The very next turn they all took off across the ocean. Being gravships they didn't run out of fuel and ended up patrolling between two cities I had recently conquered from Yang.

Anyone else seen this? Anyone know of a fix? Am I just doing something stupid?
