If you activate any of the active invis abilities during an attack move, they all act like the wolfs in your video, this includes:

Invis Buffs

During the fade delay, if an enemy unit is within the auto-hit search radius, attack moves can still attack the closest target and cancel/prevent invisibility.

• Ghost Walk
• Shadow Walk
• Skeleton Walk
• Shadow Blade
• Silver Edge
• Shadow Amulett
• Glimmer Cape
• Shukuchi
• False Promise (Scepter)
• Vendetta
• Summon Wolves => Invisibilty

Then there are abilities that bypass the autohit-oppressor somehow

They all have a small difference to the other invis effects.

• Windrun (Scepter)
  • If no enemy unit is within her attack range, she only starts attacking if she has arrived at the destination, not if a target is nearby while running
  • If an enemy unit is within her attack range while (re-)activating the ability, she doesn't move and attacks the closest target
• Cloak and Dagger
  • Riki is normally Invisible all the time and attack moves would be useless on him otherwise
• Blur
  • PA can attack creeps without revealing herself during Blur
• Shadow Dance
  • If no enemy is within search radius during the fade time, attack moves get canceled like turning on shadow blade or any other of the active invis abilities,
  • If an enemy unit is close enough during the fade time, he will attack the closest target.

Stop Behavior (they work differently and not like most of the invis abilities)

All of them, when activating, stop the hero using the ability, therefor attack moves are canceled and attack moves during effect duration attack the closest target:

• Moonlight Shadow
• Sand Storm
• Depth Shroud
• Smoke of Deceit

If you activate any of the active invis abilities

@anotherCoward I understand reasons, but wolves have PASSIVE ability, attack move should not be oppressed. Same for Cloak and Dagger, it behaves exactly the same (but it's not as critical for heroes as for controlled units)

Then there are abilities that bypass the autohit-oppressor somehow Cloak and Dagger

It doesn't. "Attack Move" during fade delay turns into "Move"
