Since 40a, I have a miner showing no job when he is clearly capable of work. He is:
- Not Possessed/Crazy/Upset
- Has a pick
- In full health
- Has clear path to job site
- Has been given only mining as a job possibility
- Is of a high skill level (>Talented)

Is he under orders not to go outside (with an outside place being the target area)?

Do you get reports of why he's cancelling work if you turn on the o->x option to 'dwarves annouce all job cancel'?

I was about to report this.  It appears that miner will ignore digging upward (both up/down stairs and down stairs).  Re-designating the same square again and they will dig.

Just some extra things this could be:

Invalid digging designations:
-Digging a upward stairway or up/downwould stairway in a already mined out square as there is no rock to turn into a upwould stairway.
-Digging a Z level above or below where the above designation has been attempted (often missed in rapid design)
-Digging a channel underneath the dwarf (the old problem of a dwarves cornering themselfs onto a inacessible cliff when given tight channeling orders)
-Inacessible digging areas

What your really want to state is a small picture of the dwarves location in case hes stuck and wether anyone else can mine.

The up digging delay should be fixed for next time.
