Summary0009940: Visitors stuck on ramps
DescriptionI have 0000001:0000003 years old fort. Inn and library ensure a steady stream of visitors. There are two paths one can take to get to library, one through the inn and other through barracks. Just recently and by chance I've spotted two visiting dwarven scholars getting stuck on ramps. Said ramps were in fact a channel (2x4) I dug out just recently somewhere along the barracks-path. All other entities, both citizens and visitors, travel that path without problems. If I remove the ramps, those two remain stuck, this time clearly in the open air. What's more, I've seen some people still taking that path (now without ramps) and just climbing/jumping to get past the pit.

I've did test and built walls beneath the scholars. It worked and they are no longer stuck, moving freely. But the question of what happened still remains.

Speculation: I dug out ramps not long after the scholars have entered the map and calculated the path towards library, maybe digging said ramps somehow messed up with their pathfinding?
Steps To ReproduceSadly, no idea. It's the first time I've seen something like that and I am not quite sure what caused it in the first place apart from maybe pathfinding.

Save file can be found bellow, if it is of any help. Visitors are located 1-z bellow the tavern (F1) and a bit to the right of the (soldier) bedrooms and before a small bauxite bridge. Two purple @ just hanging out.

The fort however has +140 dwarves, visitor and animals, just for the heads-up.

Also, it should be "I have about 3 years old fort." Apparently, adding tilde before number makes it a link for a bug?
