First Check

  • I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
  • I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn't find it.
  • I have attached as much information as possible (screenshots, debug and exception logs, etc).

Description

Burrowing units like the Devil's Tongue and Sub. APC cannot be selected using most hotkeys while they're moving underground. These hotkeys include Select Type (T), Select Next Unit (N), and Select Previous Unit (B). This can be very detrimental to the player, as it limits the ways to select a subterranean unit down to three:

  1. mouse cursor
  2. team select hotkey, if assigned to a team
  3. select all in view hotkey

All three options require you to keep track of the unit's position.

Required Code (optional)

No response

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Build a Devil's Tongue or Subterranean APC.
  2. Order the unit to move to a distance so that it will burrow underground.
  3. Once the unit has decended and starts moving forward, attempt to select it using aforementioned hotkeys.

Expected Behaviour

The unit would be selected as normal.

Actual Behaviour

The unit is not selected, as if it didn't exist.

Additional Context

Example
In this example, I hit the "Select by type" key (T) repeatedly to select all Devil's Tongues on the screen. Notice how the burrowing unit is no longer selected as it starts moving forward.
