My units are randomly attacking when they have orders not to.

Title says everything, i have a fallback line around my country as yugoslavia and i am in the Comintern with ai soviet union, however because the ai just likes to attack constantly my troops are attacking Germany and all their allies around me without my units being set to attack, i am just curious to whether this was a intentional design decision or just a bug. Quick side note, they are set by the group commander via the fallback line.

Their stance setting was balanced on the screenshot, but i think the problem is with the army group leader as when i set up the fallback lines individually with the commanders none of them attacked when soviet ai did but with the army group leader they do.

I am also having a problem with this with the new field marshalls in Waking The Tiger. His execution is set to careful so all his generals are also set to careful. There are no offensive lines drawn what so ever. All that is drawn is the front line and its not even the case were they attack a province the that was part of the front line before they got there. So most of the line will stay in there spot and defend easily but for some reason only one division will attack every now and again and are completely defeated and this is wasting a minimal but still annoying amount of resources.

Having this issue tons with my troops support attacking when someone else tries to move in. Only they're supporting suicidal charges and I really want them not to

Yeah I've had this without pressing "go" on the plan.

Had plan in place for bonus.
Manual attack with 6 divisions
The army next it jumps in on attack with 10 or so divisions.

Playing as china last night. Noticed when ai controlled units in same province attacked, my units would join in to support without orders. This destroyed entrenchment and made it difficult to let an army recover org to launch offensive or build planning bonus.

It seemed the support attack order was being selected by the ai for player units.

Edit - Now that I have had coffee, pulled up a save form last night, found an instance of this happening, and just filed bug report on it. My attack orders were not engaged, units were supposed to be building planning and entrenchment. Soviet vols attacked out of their province and my units supported the attack.
