UI not letting to split a pair of ships?

I seem to have run into a curious problem with ship overland movement: I cannot split a group of two ships into two separate ships. Whenever I select (color the card) one ship and try to move, it refuses to move and colors both cards. Both are warships so they have the same movement allowance.

I never have got stuck like this before, but it feels something has changed in ship movement UI since a year or so ago? I feel a bit dumb, too, tbh... But I just can't move one ship away from the stack. Also tried putting in land units to board the ships, but no difference. Trying to move one ships colors the whole stack and refuses to split the ship out  huh

There are two possibilities :

1. You have to select the ship along with all the units you want to carry. If the move would result in leaving units without ships behind to drown, it fails. This doesn't seem to be your problem though.
2. Chain transportation is no longer possible. If you try to transport a unit that was already transported by a ship that turn on a ship that was not transporting it at that time, the movement fails.

If neither of these applies, it might be a new bug, please post the save file in that case.

Unfortunately I no longer have that particular spot saved frown

It as 2 normal warships that first moved together 2 spaces (I think), and then I tried to split them so as to move a stack of 8 units on the other ship.

Could it be that:
2. Chain transportation is no longer possible. If you try to transport a unit that was already transported by a ship that turn on a ship that was not transporting it at that time, the movement fails.
Somehow translates ships moving together as being "carried by one another" and thus failing the split?

Anyway, I'll see what happens next time. Should not be hard to replicate the general situation.

ADD: It seems moving together is the thing. At the beginning of turn I could split the ships, but once they move together they are stuck. This was the same ships, will report if I see different behavior from some other ships next time. And to re-iterate neither had enchantments (no flying, wraithform etc).

Confirmed, this seems to be a bug. I know for sure this used to work, but one of the updates probably broke something.

Found the problem. This will be fixed in the next version, thanks for reporting.
