Does the AI freeze armies in wars?

Hi. I'm thinking of starting a new game and I'm wondering how the new patch is.

I heard there might be a bug where nations don't move their armies in wars. Is it a big problem?

I am on my third campaign since the first iteration of the beta was released, I only experienced it in one war in my second run where one AI stack just sat around for no reason at all, otherwise no. I know my sample is insignificant but so far I haven't experienced it to be the huge issue it seemed to be described as by some posts on this forum. Of the wars I've observed but not participated in I can't recall the AI idling either, so based on all of that I think it's fine.

I saw it twice in the beta across many, many campaigns.
Both times were minor subjects not moving troops and consolidating armies. It wasn't a big deal and it's pretty rare.
