yup, happened to me too
I also remember once making a slight change in the waypoint while sitting still. the engine kicked into 'ahead standard' to comply to the change. while i was in the middle of a convoy! some tense moments followed, i can tell you

i now have the habit of using the waypoint as my zero bearing line on the plot but then I zoom all the way in. since my bow is usually one degree off from the waypoint anyway I then manually make a tiny turn, hit zero rudder. that way, never need worry about the waypoint again. you also won't reach the end of the waypoint followed by an 'all stop'
