Wait maneuver - differences from 3rd Edition - Page 8

I created this post to gather all the differences between the old Step and Wait (3rd. ed.) and the new one (4th).

To begin with, I have a specific doubt regarding the new Wait maneuver.

In Basic Set, p. 366, it is said that you must "Do nothing" when performing Wait, which allows no movement. But in p. 385, in the box Wait Maneuver Strategy it is suggested that a character could have moved before performing the triggered action ("If you did not move at all on your turn, you may take a step").

In 3rd. ed. you could step. It allowed, e.g., Combatant A to close in his foe B against a three-yeard wide dead-end alley, inching forward while aware of any escaping attempt.

If the A must stay still while waiting, how is it that A encroaches B while preventing him from running in a dead-end alley situation?
