Garrison seems to leave guys milling about

Cornflake

Enabled DLC
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
Playing as china, I made an army with a garrison order for the entire coast, set to defend naval bases. As seen in the screenshot, it heavily defended some ports, barely defended others and has guys sitting way back in the center of china(more then can be seen in the image)

Steps to Reproduce
Start game of china, separate all trainable units into an army, started training them. Started splitting them into a 2nd group as they reached full training. Eventually they were all fully trained. Throughout this process both armies(who were under a marshal) were set to Garrison as described and the guys in the middle of the country never moved. As a test I tried manually moving the idle units and they go wherever I say and just stay there as if they are not part of the garrison order. This is shown in screenshot 2 where I also make visible the garrison order.

Hi. Could you provide a save where you've set up your garrison and see this behavior? It'd be appreciated (I don't see this behaviour on our internal build, so a save would be very helpful.)

Actually I reproduced something similar and have a save for you. The 2nd army with 33 guys has a garisson naval bases order but has a bunch of guys hanging out by the beach on the middle\east side of china instead of reinforcing the ports(one of which has only 1 guy in it). I loaded the game to be sure it didn't auto fix itself and it did not.

As a note its quite easy to reproduce this just playing with the scenario I originally described. I had it happen again with some expeditionary troops that joined. 18 of them I put in the group just are hanging out in a mountain.
