Summary0005416: Dwarves assigned to burrow will NOT leave burrow even when inactive
DescriptionI tried this several times, and the behavior seems to be consistent. Once citizens are assigned to a burrow, they will NOT leave the confines of the burrow regardless of the active/alert status. UN-assigning them to the burrow clears the problem, but it's a bit of a nuisance.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a burrow covering your fortress, but NOT the outside world. Assign your entire population to this burrow. They WILL remain indoors for the siege/raid, but they won't ever leave...
Additional InformationI'm pretty sure the behavior was the same in 0.34.01.

Reminder sent to: Rochndil

You can make citizens stay in a burrow by either of these methods:
- assign them to the burrow
- use a burrow alert

You're not supposed to have to do both of those things -- it's intended that just one of those methods is enough to make the civilians stay in the burrow.

This is all explained on the wiki: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Burrow#Civilian_Alerts

Does that clear things up?

Interesting, I had not seen that before. Based on that information, I re-tested on the same game, and the behavior is appropriate. You can flag this resolved.
