Summary0006381: Dwarves stand on top of some walls when constructing, then cancel/suspend do to blocking their own site
DescriptionI'm building an elevated archery range / watchtower above my fort's entrance, but my dwarves are having trouble constructing the walls. Most are taken care of with no problems, but there are a few squares near the corners of the construction site that the dwarves will almost always stand on top of when building - and then will suspend construction because a creature, i.e. themselves, is blocking the construction site! If I order a long wall segment built with the problem site in the middle (so there are unbuilt walls extending beyond the structure I want, which I then suspend), sometimes (but not always) it will be constructed normally. With one site I had to resort to removing the ground the wall was being built over so that standing on the site was no longer an option.
Steps To ReproduceI have not tried to reproduce this in a different file or in different locations. In the specific sites in question it was pretty persistent though.
Additional InformationI also noticed that dwarves no longer follow the same "left-hand rule" they used to for constructions, deconstructions, and mining - possibly a bug in however this was reworked?
TagsNo tags attached.

That is accurate. Didn't see it in my preliminary search.
