Ive had this problem too. Turning off Strobing /jamba-follow strobeoff all (or something similar), WONT stop the toons from following you.

It will only turn off the strobe factor (of to re follow on character switch). You then have to break the auto follow. So add in a second step to that hotkey, to hit the forward key or some other key that will break the follow. Turning Strobing off doesn;t break follow, just the 're-follow' once its broken.
