2 Problems I've found in Fleets during PvE

Hi, I put in a support ticket for issue #2, but haven't heard anything in a while, so thought I would try here. These are weird.
I have found a couple issues while doing fleets during PvE missions"

1) Acceleration Gates send you to the wrong place.
I have had this happen several times and a couple other people have said they have seen it, also.
We will be going through multiple acceleration gates to each room in a mission (only seen this while doing L4's) and the fleet members will activate the gate and start jumping to the next room. For some reason, one of us will warp to one of the jump gates instead of the next room, and need to rewarp to the first gate and go through all of the gates to catch back up to the fleet. One time I saw that two of us warped to the wrong location, but different locations. t's not an issue of clicking on the wrong item, because the overview box for "Activate Acceleration Gate" is pretty distinct.

2) Targetting was off and looked like targetting a fleet member.
This only happened to me once, but it was pretty drastic. The scenario was myself and one other non-corp mate fleeted up to do a L4 mission. The first room went fine, then we gate to the next room. At that point we had a fair number of targets. He was flying a BS and using sentry drones. I was flying a BC and using medium artillery. He was able to target and attack from about 80 km. His drones stayed near his ship.

I had to get within about 57 km to target and about 48 km in order to be in falloff range, so I burned up close, to about 45 km and stopped. I then targetted three Merc frigates by control-clicking on their little red icons in space, and started firing. Very quickly I got an alert about Concord, hostile acts and the next thing I new my ship had evaporated.

There is no way I could have targetted and attacked my fleet member because he was well behind me.

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Hmm... Maybe I'm in the wrong forum?

Ok, I found out from the GM what happened on item #2. Apparently I targetted and destroyed my buddy's npc wreck.... Doh!
It was too small on the screen and didn't show on my overview, so.... Ooops.

Still no idea what is going on with issue #1, though.
