Summary	0006328: Job to link bridge completely restarted after interruption
Description	A mechanic was linking a bridge between my fort and a cavern to a lever farther inside the fort. He completed the first step, installing the mechanism in the bridge, without trouble. While he was installing the mechanism in the lever, an Elk Bird rushed into the fort, interrupting the job. After the threat had been dealt with, I unsuspended the Link Bridge job. One of my mechanics took the job, but instead of finishing the lever-side installation as I'd supposed, he first ran to the bridge and re-installed the mechanism there before going to install at the lever.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Assign a link job at a lever (observed with a bridge, possibly affects other devices as well) 2. Allow first mechanism to be installed 3. Interrupt installation of second mechanism 4. Unsuspend link job and observe the responsible mechanic I'm not sure if this can be reproduced by simply suspending the job from the lever's 'q' screen.
Additional Information	In the end the job came out as one would expect: one mechanism in the bridge, one in the lever -- no extra mechanisms were claimed or used for the task. The mechanic appears to have simply pulled the already-installed mechanism out of the bridge and put it back in, so the bug is that the job does not keep track of which parts are already finished, as compared to, say, building a workshop or construction, which can be done in stages properly.
