Yeah, it's been around a while:

# 000768 □ [dwarf mode][interface][designations] (Report) cat adoptions, meetings, drink jobs etc. can occur while the game is paused during mining designations

The same seems to happen with upgrading squad equipment.

This can also be used to make caravans load/unload their wagons/pack animals instantly.

I don't like the cat part, but I like that this makes negotiating trade agreements faster and makes the traders load up a lot faster!

Just found another thing that can happen while doing this: soldiers watching demonstrations will gain experience, and after enough "time" they will switch to their next drill.

Still happens in 31.23. An easy way to reproduce is to wait for a meeting to start then 'd'esignate while the game is not paused, choose 'x' remove designation, and click and drag with the mouse. You can get through the whole meeting in seconds.

This bug could have many more serious underlying problems that aren't immediately apparent the way cat adoptions and trade negotiation screen popups are. It seems like the game clock advances a frame or so each time your mouse rolls over a new tile while you're pressing the mouse button to designate something. Is this causing pregnancies to progress faster? Causing dwarves to age? Their skills to rust? Merchants to leave sooner?

Because this bug causes an unknown number of events to occur or advance in the game while it's seemingly paused, I feel it deserves to be handled more severely than a minor issue. Fixing this issue is likely to have a noticeable effect on the flow of in-game time in normal dwarf mode games for some players.

I have noticed via Dwarf Therapist that military skills also level up when you go digging. It's slow, but it is very much there. (version 0.31.25)

The observe skill can also notice sneaking kobolds it seems, had this happen multiple times on my current fort. Hard to reproduce that scenario though.

Was just bout to report this for 0.34.10
Military gain skills when training while game is paused and designating stuff.
Noticed when one of my dwarves became an axedwarf.
