This is not normal and should never happen. You would need to look at the source of the order on the Trade Activity Log in the "OrderActionSource" field on the "Trade Activity" page. Refer to the following:

You need to look at the OrderActionSource for the Order and Order Fill and see what it states as to why the order was opened. That is where the information will be. We can not do or see anything more than that.
