Summary0013168: Designation Priorities never visible in ASCII mode
DescriptionWhen the game is configured in Classic ASCII mode, any mining designations added with custom Priorities will never display those priority numbers. Changing plotinfo.viewmode to any value between DIG_DIG and FORTIFY (as well as a few others such as DIG_CHOP, TOGGLE_ENGRAVING, and TOGGLE_MARKER) makes them visible, but those viewmodes never appear to get set during normal operation.

Similiarly, selecting the "Remove Construction" option does not highlight existing constructions (as it does when plotinfo.viewmode is set to REMOVE_CONSTRUCTION), which makes it rather more difficult to see exactly which tiles might be affected.

Also, actually setting plotinfo.viewmode to a nonzero value (using DFHack) causes all mouse input to stop working.

The graphical renderer presumably checks game.main_interface.main_designation_selected instead.
