While we're on the subject, has anyone else had problems with alts running away. This works fine for me but on plenty of occasions when I rehit my interact button one or more of my alts will run through the target and just run off into the sunset :P
That's been an issue for a long time in WoW. I've mentioned it to Blizzard before but I'm not sure they took it seriously

I believe it's a race condition in the game. Autofollow is supposed to break when you do a melee attack (and other times obviously), and if you hit autofollow at exactly the right moment, it seems that it correctly disables autofollow, but not the moving forward part. If it hasn't been fixed by now, it's probably not high enough priority for them to bother looking at, but that's my educated guess at the problem if anyone at Blizzard happens to read this
