Summary0009724: Ambush announcements collated, causing zooming to fail
DescriptionThe announcements that an ambusher has been detected are collated (i.e. displayed as e.g. *4). That means trying to zoom to the ambusher zooms to the location the first ambusher was at the time of that announcement, not the last one.
Steps To ReproduceSomehow get an ambush with two ambusher announcements in a row with nothing in between on the announcement screen.
Additional InformationI've encountered this situation twice. The first time was a 0.42.05 reclaim of the mountainhome where the "hostile" residents generated ambush announcements when detected (a lot of times, since there were quite a few local goblins and elves), and the second time in a game where the ambusher tag has been "restored" to goblins (Toady just said goblins have never had the tag).
Using LNP 0.r01 with the Phoebus tile set and DFHack performance tweaks.

The problem is probably that when an announcement (of any type) allows zooming it cannot be both collated and retain the zoom ability reliably (at least not without an ability to expand the collation). If collation is retained, it would work better if zooming was to the last (i.e. most recent) event rather than the first/oldest one.
