Fleets pass each other by??

Is it possible that your fleet went to the point the enemy fleet was when you gave the Attack order and then turned to follow it??
If so, that makes for a very nasty "issue"

No. What would happen is: my fleet would move onto the square with his fleet. Then his fleet would move off of it (and towards my colony ships). From this point on, I am chasing him. My fleet moves onto his square, then he moves off.

Someone has posted that combat occurs every 5th day and also whenever someone in the square is capable of moving. The bug is that both fleets are moving "at the same time". If they are only 1 square apart they effectively pass each other up in between the squares.
