Resolved Javelin Troops throw in the direction they are walking, not targeting

[Zarthas]

Summary: Javelin throwing troops throw in the direction of movement rather than the direction they should be targeting, as in previous versions.
How to Reproduce: Tell troops to move to a location or Fallback while having Fire At Will enabled. Troops will just throw javelins at walls as they move towards the position.

Are you still experiencing this issue on the latest live version? If so, could you capture a video of this issue happening?

Only very occasionally, the core issue of ranged units conflating move direction and target direction does seem to be resolved. Now it seems related to the Javelin-thrower accidentally releasing the throw before properly aiming it rather than cancelling, resulting in him headshotting a nearby ally. It is almost impossible to capture footage of but I'll attempt.
