One of my champions is stuck in the barracks. I can't look at him with v, and he has a light blue background. His task is displayed as "soldier" in the units menu. My theory is that someone threw him to the air while sparring, and he somehow forgot to land.

Running v0.28.181.40d, unmodded save for graphics, on Ubuntu Linux with Wine.

... You have found Arthur Dent. Other than that, I can't help help you, I'm afraid.
I have heard that, should you want to move him, there are utilities for that like Tweak and Foreman.

This could be related to a bug where if a goblin is in flight when the game is saved, it will be stuck in flight when you reload, which leads to never-ending sieges. Dwarf Companion would work well here.

[Footkerchief]

Yeah, search for "floating goblin" to see how other people have used Dwarf Companion to fix this.

I had this happen with two masons, a planter, and four separate cave ins. I assumed that the shockwaves from four equidistant cave-ins caused them to be unable to pick a direction to fly in.

[Soadreqm]

That sounds feasible. The seasonal autosave could have frozen him in air after someone threw him while sparring. Known bug, then.

I'm not sure if Dwarf Companion works on Wine, and even if it does, I'm not sure if I want him to come down. It seems he is basically immortal at the moment, but since he's one of my own dwarves, that shouldn't cause too many problems. Except of course the fortress is indestructible unless I abandon it, but that doesn't sound too bad. Maybe I'll just build some kind of a shrine around him, and call it magic.

I similarly have a hovering river creature at the falls, who (I assume) just happened to be going off the edge at the time I saved the game.
