Larry_OHF, your sentiment is appreciated, thank you
Leonidas, well, not exactly, let me try to explain a bit further. In IceWind Dale I can select any formation (of 6 characters) and right click on the screen and either set that position or rotate the markers then set that position. After I release the mouse button the green markers stay in that position, unless of course there is something in the way. In BGII under the same circumstances the green markers literally "hop" over about a 1/2" from where I released the mouse button. It doesn't seem to matter what the conditions are... very frustrating for setting up my characters with any sort of accuracy. The only formation that doesn't do that on is a single line of 6, or clicking and placing individual charcters (...one at a time), and as you know, that can hinder your strategic moves in battle.
Thanks for your responses thus far
