[Great Cthulhu]

I am currently in a situation where, when I'm cycling though my squads, I get stuck when I reach a certain squad. Specifically, what this means is that when I reach this squad, +/- don't work anymore. I can still leave the squad menu. When I do so, +/- works again, until I once again reach this specific squad.

This problem did not occur until I got a goblin siege. I don't yet know if it goes away after the siege. (Will update once I find out.

I you'd like, I can supply a save of the problem.

In my current fortress the + and - do not work at all anymore.  It doesn't matter what squad I start viewing with 'x' none of them allow jumping to another squad.

I would guess a save with just a specific squad or 2 not working would be more useful then one in which they are all broken, so at the least make a backup in case Today needs it.

[Great Cthulhu]

Already have.

In my case the problem seems to have gone after the siege. Though I did fiddle a bit with my squads as well. (Bloody champion wrestler decided to charge 16 goblins rather than wait safely behind my traps.)

This happens in my experience when the squad leaders of other squads become indisposed (sleeping, resting). Try swapping squad leaders and see if that helps at all. If not, good luck!

This happened to me couple of days ago, and it wasn't cause anyone was sleeping 'cause I cycled up to a certain squad but it wouldn't keep cycling, - or +. Only a minor annoyance, and it might not even be relevant in the next version.

Yeah, I'd like to take a look at it if you've still got a save.  I'll need the region folder in some kind of zip/rar/7z, and any new objects that were added to the raw folder.  If it's less than 20 megs, you can send it to toadyone@bay12games.com.  You can also try The Dwarf Fortress File Depot which has a special section for bugged saves.

I think this happens because the leader is sleeping, therefore unconscious, therefore squad isn't active and you can't cycle back to it.

[Great Cthulhu]

I think one of my squad leaders was indeed sleeping at the start of the siege. However, I don't think it was the leader of the squad that locks. Also, the problem persists even with all squad leaders awake, so I'm not convinced that a sleeping leader is causing this. Good suggestion though.

One interesting thing that I did notice just now is that when I get stuck on a squad, the "+" and "-" keys seem to act as the letter "l", as they switch between "lock on this squad" and "don't lock on this squad".

Toady> I've sent you my save and a description of the situation. Thanks for taking a look at it, and good luck!

I can confirm this, without evidence.
