Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I've been having a problem recently duelboxing my characters. I run a remote rep setup, and as such, I always keep my 2 accounts orbiting eachother at 1k. HOWEVER, recently I've had massive problems getting them to obey these commands. I very clearly tell each character to orbit the other, I dont click in space to move them, all I do is broadcast targets within the fleet, lock, and shoot. THe problem Im having, is that at some point, one of the characters inevitably decides to just fly in a random direction, I go to rep the other character and realize that im 20k from the other guy even though I definately NEVER clicked in space, and told them to orbit eachother. Ive been having this problem for about a month, and after the recent loss of a Drake to a null rat due to not realizing how far he was from the reps that he was supposed to be receiving, Ive decided to post here and look for a solution to this problem.

The problem also extends to the approach command. Ill tell a ship to approach a wreck, or antoher character, and a few minutes later hes pointed in a completely differnt direction.
