This is a very old bug. Ranged combat and/or combat skills used on someone behind you in your group causes you to refocus to the ranged attacker's group every combat round.

But only sometimes?

This log shows me refocusing to a scout's pet (Vulpus) three times in group combat, even though I retarget the steadfast human in between rounds. One is after the steadfast human is rescued and the scout (Painted centaur) dirt kicks the person behind me, the second time is actually after nothing happens in between combat rounds despite me refocusing, and the third is after a rescue by Ghazzhaz on the steadfast human, yet I still refocus to Vulpus.

Pretty sure this is due to the dirt kick, I've seen it cause this before anyhow.

Except the second time I retargeted Vulpus no one used any skills at all. The only thing that could have happened is that the ranged attacks from the painted centaur alone caused a refocus on Vulpus. Either way, it's clear that multiple things cause combat retargets. My guess is that most of them are related to people that aren't "in-combat" due to being back/second row using aggressive actions (like dirt kick or casting spells, or perhaps ranged attacks) against people that also aren't in combat, causing the group members in front of the person attacked to refocus to the new attackers' group.
