Game Mechanics: MOBs running away loop for many seconds

Greetings

Try to not get in slightly in front of the mob when you are chasing it. I have seen this behavior of it looping when i go to far in front of the mob I am trying to kill as it runs/walks away. This is just m observation but it running into you is what i believe causes this behavior.

when mob does this "looping" try to stand slightly to right or left of it and i twill go back to its running path.

Thanks for two reasons, one I'll try the tip, thanks. We're talking mobs near death running away so it isn't exactly tragic, but it is annoying and would be good to have a way around it.

Two, that means others are seeing the same thing and it's not on my end.

Your theory may be correct, but then why would they only do that when running away? I mean certainly I run straight through green mobs all the time and I don't see them loop when I do so. I only see it when a mob is near death and running.
