Summary0012759: Dwarfs get "stranded" whenever walls/floors are built or during mining
DescriptionI'm pretty new to the game (Steam version) and have been playing in a fort for about 7 in game years, where I have been having an issue with dwarfs idling after various jobs. For example, whenever I build a wall anywhere dwarfs will build the wall, and then idle indefinitely unless I save and load the game (i.e. to main menu and back again) at which point all of the dwarfs become unstuck - all of the dwarfs have "No Job" as their status and just stand still. This also happens with floors, in which case the game says that there is no access to materials if I try to place furniture etc. - which again persists until the save is reloaded. With mining, miners will mine any stone that is immediately available but any stone behind it will be ignored, and again I wont be able to place any buildings in the mined out area until reload. This seems to have begun once the population of the fortress reached a certain amount (~ 100), and has gotten worse over time.

I have DFHack installed, which labels all of these dwarfs as "stranded", but I do not think the plugin is causing the issue itself as I have tested with DFHack uninstalled. I have also tried removing all of my burrows which also has no effect. I also tried activating a "civilian alert" with DFHack and these dwarfs would still not move.
Steps To ReproduceI'm not sure how reproduceable the bug is, but I can provide my save file (I'm not sure how best to do this).
Additional InformationI wasnt able to find this issue anywhere else, hence this post, but if it is a known issue any workarounds would be greatly appreciated - even some way of "refreshing" the game without having to reload would be a lifesaver!

Thank you for the info! I have now uploaded the save file: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17058

To reproduce try and build a large wall or floor area in this save and the dwarfs should get stuck, or see elevation 24 where the miners will only mine the closest row of tiles before ignoring the rest

Tested this in the beta version (adventure mode update) and the bug still persists

Also just realised this link in my post: "... once the population of the fortress reached a certain amount ([LINK])"

Its unintentional, I think its because I used a tilde, I meant to say when my fortress gets to roughly 100 citizens lol
