Infantry targeting/moving

Relatively new to this game but after 5 battles i keep getting some major annoyance bugs, let me clarify

1. When units autotarget, they no longer move or cannot be ordered to move (the movement arrow just instantly snaps to enemy unit and doesnt let you do anything)

2. Autotargeting prevents you from choosing targets by yourself (multiple instances of wanting to consentrate fire on a unit but cant cause my units keeps targeting back to their original target)

3. This one happens a lot. Cant really confirm why and in what cituations, but sometimes my units will turn left and just start walking (i followed one for knowing purpouses, they keep walking to the edge of the map until ordered to do something), even when in a firefight, this is extremely annoying cause i have to sheep my units at all times so they keep in place and do what soldiers do. 

Maybe im just too new and people know answers or these are bugs needing a fix. Otherwise a pleasing game

1. This makes sense in every aspect i can think of. Wouldn't you face an enemy unit which is nearby obviously in fire range, when they could potentially fire at your brigade in line formation or worse marching column? This said, hit the hold fire button and the unit should move on and ignore the enemy unit. If you prefer more realism, just let the unit fallback out of range and then give the move order.

2. Never happened to me. Either giving individual units or groups of units a target manually works all the time for me and they don't revert back to other targets.

3. Can you provide screenshots? Did you make a potential bug report in game (F11)? Do they turn left (facing) and move or do they just walk sideways? If they walk sideways they are too close to another brigade!

Regarding your second point, I realize it looks that way but if you leave the unit alone, it will fire when it can and then move to the position you ordered it to, even though it is no longer showing it.
