[Dorf and Dumb]

I've seen one plant gatherer freeze forever because he wasn't adjacent to the plant he was picking, and one wall detailer freeze non-adjacent to the wall he was supposed to smooth.  Voiding the designation got them moving again.  I have a feeling this is related to the constant "teleportation" of items when deconstructing things (I was told that's an old bug but I never saw it in the old version and now it never doesn't happen).

Just saw it with a woodcutter, he was interrupted by horror and then went back to work three tiles away from the tree and stood there till I undesignated.

It was fixed by the community with a binary patch.  This patch was distributed with DFhack, which was included in the LNP, large mods, and so forth.  If you were using anything along those lines, you probably had the fix.

in 40.01 I got this herbalist frozen in place trying to pick a shrub several tiles away... removing the designation and adding it again solves the issue...

I should add on 40.03 this was reproducible in one case - when trying to build up-down stairs on the floor above the ground floor in the compu-generated reclaim fort (after first building up-down stairs on that floor).  I suppose it's because there was no way to path to that floor and you couldn't reach it from below because a floor was in the way.  Haven't retested in 40.04 though.

I had a plant gatherer freeze like this last night, but I freed him by mining out the wall next to him... next option was going to be channelling under him and letting him drop to bring him to his senses (such as they are).  Didn't want to lose my only stonecrafter, or I would have just let him starve for being a dumbass.

I've seen a moody dwarf claim a workshop from 10 tiles away. It's quite possible that this is related to the teleporting materials bug (dwarves performing the "pickup item" task when not adjacent to the item).

Such measures are unnecessary. Dwarves will (eventually) cancel almost any job to seek out food/drink/sleep ("seeking infant" being, at least previously, an exception).
