This is to prevent endless ranged attacks on a person who is attempting to close to melee. Eventually the penalties will become so severe that landing a hit is impossible. This encourages use of retreating to get out of combat rather than mechanics abuse within combat.
Use the assess command to check if you have a retreat penalty. If yes then you'll see You appear to be having difficulty targeting melee and ranged attacks. message.
