My fortress is full of dolomite, and I was getting a bit sick of it cluttering up my view everywhere. I went into the stocks screen, selected dolomite and hid it. To my surprise, all my buildings vanished too!

I don't think that's the intended behaviour...

I think it is intended behavior.  You're supposed to be able to hide buildings, and that's how it's done.  The forbid designation has worked this way forever.  You just have to be careful when hiding/forbidding entire categories.

From dev notes when hiding was added: "'hide' from everywhere you can forbid/dump/melt (including being able to hide buildings)"

I think its in for the fixes for next time.  Though I may be mis-remembering, it's been a while since this was first reported and I think Toady said he'd note it down.

A bug? This is more like a feature. Now you can put buildings anywhere without breaking the beauty of your fort. Plus you can make a dwarf stand in one place for roleplaying purposes without having to draft him.
