Anybody else randomly going AFK, even though you're typing or walking?

Is this one of the great new features?

I've seen this once so far sice the last release. I suddenly appeared as "away" even though I should not have been. Resolved itself as soon as I moved a little.

Maybe your 'show as away after x minutes' got changed in your preferences after the last update?

It wasn't happening to me yesterday, but it just happened to me now when I popped in to check on something real quick. I was flying, and then randomly afk while in the middle of flying. I'll bug report it if it happens again.

But I am moving when I go AFK. I've been walking and slump into AFK position while I'm still walking.

It's definately a new added feature. =)
I was typing away in IMs and suddenly went AFK.
Teleported and went AFK.
Stood still for 5 minutes and was fine but as soon as I moved I went AFK.

hmmmm

Somewhere in the Cient Character Tests there is something there about Away when Idle or words to that effect. Remove the X beside that and you will never be set as away irrespective of the Preferences.

Oh that's true, I have afk turned off on my desktop; that would be why I didn't notice this last night. I was using my laptop when I went afk while flying.

This was a bug on the beta grid and it's made its way to the release. I can't reproduce it with the same results just yet.
