Boat Docking to Docked Boat?

Now, correct me if I'm wrong (please), but I was under the impression that boats couldn't dock to boats that were already docked (be it to another boat or land or a harbour), however, I have had several people lately dock to a boat of mine while it was in a coaster harbour. What's up with that? If that's intentional, it seems... very bad.

Lately? This was supposed to have been corrected about 3 weeks ago. If it happened after that, it's probably a bad thing and should be Flysprayed.

It happened today, and... well, maybe a week ago. I don't know when exactly, but within the past three weeks, for sure.
I don't want anyone to dock to my longboat while I'm on my whatever it is and steal all my stuff. .__.

Flyspray with general (CR-safe) information, e-mail
bugs@cantr.net with specific information (character, location, ship, logs), and watch this thread.

T.L.H.E. can you send the details and I'll look into this
Currently boats shouldn't be able to dock to docked vessels, It is possible to dock to a moving vessel which is in the process of docking but once it's docked then it shouldn't be possible . Without knowing the exact details I can't really comment further

Thanks for sending those details T.L.H.E.
As I suggested this occurred beause T.L.H.E.'s ship was at sea and a legitimate docking target of the other boat. A character on that boat initiated a valid docking process , but before that could complete the target ship itself had docked to the Harbour .
Currently nothing stops a docking process once started so the other boat later completed its docking to the target.
The code will be changed so that if a Target is docked at any time during checking the docking process is cancelled
