If you setup a ship to default behaviour protect position then change it directly to repeat orders it will not remove protect position, you have to remove all orders and assignments then select repeat orders.
Steps:
Setup protect position default behaviour
Change directly to repeat orders
Choose attack all targets in range somewhere for example
Then right click remove all orders
Ship will still have previous default protect position order
