I think this has been around for a while. It may be related to how large my fleet is (6 lines of ships on that screen).

Looking at it, this may be a feature that just isn't pointed out.

"You're trying to stop me from disengaging? *smirk* You and what army?"

Thanks - looks like this is a case when the "maneuvers to prevent you from disengaging" text is displayed erroneously. It's supposed to be the neutral text; happens when the enemy fleet is too large to try to run but doesn't actually want to fight.

[SafariJohn]

"Too large to run" seems very randomly applied.

If their fleet is too large to run then it doesn't matter how big my fleet is, I can leave whenever I want, but if their fleet isn't too large, even if my huge fleet is faster than theirs, I can't disengage because my fleet is too large.

Weird.

You should only be able to "Leave" when they don't actually want to fight, although when that actually is will be hard to tell due to the bug you ran into.

I think I've seen fleets that say they assume a neutral posture (and I'm pretty sure they do), but I can't withdraw because my fleet is too large. If I see this I'll try to get a screenshot of it.

[Alex]

You mean there's no "leave" option in that case? Yeah, that'd be a bug then, if I'm thinking this through right.

Found one case: Harry until they stand and fight.

[Alex]

Thank you - fixed that one.

Found a neutral/too large to withdraw one:

Thanks again - fixed this one, too.
