Okay, I've got a really good save of this one, so hopfully it'll be easy to figure out. I have a marksdwarf, carrying an xbow and a shield, and set to use xbow (never set to use hammer in his life) that won't stop trying to pick up an iron warhammer I just looted from the goblins. Like he walks over to it with the "pickup equipment" task active, sits there a second, then goes to walk away, now with just "soldier" shown as task. He makes it all of 2 squares, then immediately gets "pickup equipment" back and tries to pick up the hammer again. Guh?

If you forbid the hammer, the dwarf walks away happily, and resumes normal behavior. But if you ever unforbid the hammer, he just goes right back it and tries to pick it up repeatedly again. Like I said, I have the save. This is a fairly heavily modded worlds, but mostly just entity ethics and plant modifications - no changes to weapons at all.

Melt the hammer.

Yes, there are obvious ways to work around this from a player perspective, but I would still think the easily reproducible bug would be of interest to Toady next time he gets into a bugfixing mode.
