I can verify this bug as well.

I had this my first day on 1.0 windows too, used to be a step every second, but 1.1 made this continuous.

@timsamoff you are on 1.1 mac os correct? It's not just a windows issue.

The brute force solution is to run through every actor on script start and set actor movement to false (and forcing them to the nearest tile so they are not mid tile).

To test for this bug, i recommend running in an emulator at a lower speed, like Bgb with vsync over multiple frames, and activating a script when an actor randomly moves.

Correct -- I'm running 1.1.0 on a Mac.

Thought this one was gone with 1.1.0... guess not.
