Maybe: Screen grid coordinates are limited to coordinates like, x,y (1210,1140), then a diagonal movement would end up at the nearest screen grid coordinate, not fractions of screen grid coordinates.
Therefore the diagonal ship movement would not be exactly the distance selected, but slightly more or less. This does not apply to horizontal and vertical moves, as they are exactly 1 ly apart in distance.
If you study your diagonal movements you will see that they are either slightly more or less than your exact speed distance: 9.99 or 10.4, or whatever, versus an even 10 ly. Even when you set the waypoint to more than 10 ly range, you will see the first move was not exactly 10 ly.
I expect it has to do with the grid that keeps track of ship locations, etc.

I couldn't have explained it better. Rolling Eyes

In summation: the game can have integer coordinates or integer trips, not both. Guess what the Jeffs chose. One can wonder why, but not say it's a bug, because it works exactly as intended. Deal

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
