Additional Information

ArmA Version: 1.80.143869 (Stable branch)

Repro: 100% (3/3) in 3den editor

Observed:

Killing the original group leader makes the rest of the group move once another unit has assumed command (see picture 2, note how one group has reached waypoint significantly quicker.)

Once the group leaders(separated from the rest of the group) reaches their waypoints, the rest of the group starts moving into formation (see picture 2).

Issuing a new move order while units are moving into position causes non-leader units to stop on the spot.

I just tested this in our Dev Branch and it works could you please test this in the Dev Branch if the issue is present? Also did you use set waypoint or a different command?

I am unfortunately unable to test it in dev branch currently, though here's the mission.sqm.

I did use set waypoint, and also tried changing the waypoint properties.
