Notice how I mounted it, and it's still in the F1 spot? This isn't an isolated occurence, this happens practically everytime I get a pet and mount it. I've heard of other people having the same bug.

I've seen this as well, and it seems to happen anytime you buy an auto-mount(?) pet with a pre-existing group created. The mount takes the first available slot in the group formation according to the "inf" command, and the player can even "switch places" with the mount, as seen in this example.

To the best of my knowledge, this is a new problem, that I've been noticing with my own steeds. I would say its since the last update, but maybe as long as two months ago.

... Yeah... you know... put all the sorcs and necros in the front row and all the non-reached characters in the 2nd and all the reach in the 3rd. Best PK formation period. [/sarcasm]

Thanks for the info D.
