It seems that sometimes when the window doesnt have focus (I run two accounts on two screens so fire commands into each one at a time) the jump/dock commands are flakey.

So I click "jump" on the ooverview selected item, it will WTZ, but then just sits there doing nothing.

Only seems to happen when the focus has been lost.

This is a new development, last 3 weeks perhaps?

Actually, it's not a new development. Jump/Dock commands when they are queued commands have always been rather hit-or-miss when window focus is lost prior to carrying out that command. It's an old bug that's been around since CCP added that feature quite some time ago. They've done their best to squash it with some success, but it's never been completely reliable.

At least it works sometimes even if only sometimes, before you had to jump after landing manually unless it was a waypoint while on AP, and even then AP would only bring you to the destination system. It wouldn't auto dock like it does now. Hell, it wouldn't even warp to station, just sit there on gate until you came along and took over.

Sorry I should have been more specific, it's a new thing to affect me. I searched before posting and found old threads with a similar issue. That said I've been doing this for years without issue and I'm now suddenly hitting problems.
