WIll ranged units fire at distant enemies when on "guard commander"?

Ah bummer. Thanks.
If this could be changed

one could find a use for units such as mounted bowmen....

Is this already considered as a bug to be fixed?

It is pretty annoying and I dont see the reason why guarding archers should not fire when something is in range (and maybe charging the commander they should protect...)!

This is to prevent two armies to be both set on Guard Commanders/Stay Behind Troops, waiting for the other to come in range. It is not considered a bug.

Yeah, as PhilD said, this is something the devs have been against adding, for the reason he stated. There's been a lot of talk on the forum about this (and similar kinds of commands).
