Summary0009232: Miners try to path through unexplored areas but are unable to; cancel mining
DescriptionWhen designating an area to be mined, if the designated area overlaps with unexplored caverns, dwarves will try to path through the unexplored cavern, but fail, canceling the task and the designation.

This can happen even if there is a perfectly viable path through an explored area; for example my dwarves would not expand my up/down staircase on the z-level bellow the existing stairs, instead trying to path through the darkness and repeatedly cancelling the designation.
Steps To Reproduce1.Start a new fortress, dig down until caverns are breached and your dwarves can enter them.
2.In a place where caverns are not yet explored, designate mining.

If the conditions are met, miners will start cancelling tasks and parts of designation will disappear, which is slightly annoying.

Possibly intended. If none in your fort knows what lies in the dark area, they probably just can't pathfind through it. And if they can't find a way to their work area, designation gets cancelled.
