[Dame de la Licorne]

A quick search hasn't turned this up, so if it's already been posted, my apologies.  The two defaults in the 'd' menu are 'chop down trees' ('t') and 'mine' ('d').  For the most part these defaults are correct, where 't' is selected when above-ground and 'd' is selected when below-ground.  However, occasionally pressing 'd' below-ground will bring up the default 't' option, when it should be the default 'd' option.  Probably an easy little thing to fix, and certainly not game-destroying, but I just thought I'd mention it.

I've had this too, but only when going to the bottom level in one of the corners to designate the whole level for digging, in preparation for using reveal.  I'll go to the bottom, scroll to a corner (usually the top left, if I remember correctly), and then hit (d).  Chop down trees is often selected, even though everything on the screen is subterranean.  Maybe this info can help to reproduce the error.

I'll get it anywhere below ground, though as I said, it doesn't happen very often.  After a few more tests, it seems I usually get it when I'm within five levels of an above-ground layer, and there's a region where it gives the 't' instead of 'd'.  I don't see any consistency otherwise.

Mayhap unallocated space? Run reveal without any preemptive designating to see allocated space, and see if the bahavior corresponds to that...

I, too, run into the problem. I'm designating places to mine, and it defaults to cutting down trees sometimes, but I've only noticed it on maps where I've cut down trees. Could it choose the default based upon how many tiles have been selected? If so, that could explain it because, even though I mine quite a bit, I also designate huge swaths of land for the tree destruction which might be even larger.

It's a minor annoyance and I just double tap 'd' anyways so I mostly don't notice it.

I get this even on maps that don't have any trees. I suspect it has something to do with where the cursor starts when you start designating, since e.g. if the cursor starts in the middle of my magma vent, then I'll probably be set to chop down trees. It's just that the logic is a bit buggy.

If somebody's got a save where the view is set up so that pressing 'd' leads to the bug, I should be able to fix it fairly quickly.

[Dame de la Licorne]

Ok, I've posted the save on the DFFD, here's the link:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=257
I've set it up so that all you have to do is hit 'd' once you open the save, and the default should be trees (incorrect default), instead of mining (correct default).
I've also included the objects folder, so that mods won't be a problem.

Okay, I've downloaded it and I'll take a look at some point.
