Summary0013186: Spade icon for "dig channel" over stairs missing when viewed from Z+1 zoomed out
DescriptionThe spade icon showing a "dig channel" designation is not shown from level Z+1 over stairs (but is shown on the level of the designation itself (Z+0), and levels further up (Z+2, Z+3, etc.). It is only on the level just above the designation that the icon is missing. The icon is missing only if zoomed out (any level other than the most zoomed in).
Steps To Reproduce1) Dig a stairwell at least 4 levels deep, with access from the top and the bottom
2) Dig a channel to remove the top level of stairs
3) Dig a channel to remove the second level of stairs
4) PAUSE THE GAME
5) Designate a channel on the third level of stairs. Ensure that your zoom level is zoomed out (smaller tiles). Notice that the spade icon is visible on this level, and on the level above, and on the level above that (those two levels we just removed in steps 2 and 3)
6) UNPAUSE, THEN PAUSE AGAIN
7) Notice that the spade icon is visible everywhere except for the level above the designation.
8) Zoom in all the way (largest tile size). Notice that the spade icon appears. Zoom out one click, and the icon disappears again.
9) UNPAUSE, until a dwarf takes the mining job and the icon starts to blink, then PAUSE AGAIN.
10) Notice that the *blinking* spade icon is visible. It is only the static spade icon which is not shown on the Z+1 level above the designation when zoomed out after the game has run a click past the designation action.
Additional InformationI have not tested this on older versions, but I don't remember seeing it before 51.11.
