Description: My dwarves are randoly idling. I embarked, built a few things (from craftsdwarfs wkshop, carpenters wkshop, masons wkshop) and when I found zinc in the ground and burnt 3 charcoal and dug a channel, designated it as a pond to have my dwarves fill the hole with water - my dwarves started not taking on new jobs. They weren't eating, sleeping or on break - they just said 'No Job' and stood in the meeting area without taking on new jobs.

I had a carpenter not building walls, a metalsmith not making cages and a farmer not harvesting his plump helmets.

I restarted my game and they all took on their jobs.

This was very strange.

Steps To Reproduce : ...designate a pond and have the job finish?

Additional Information: I embarked underneath a tree in its roots and had to make the square/root my miner was standing on/in to be mined out and the miner to dig a stairwell back up to the surface and then channel out on and around the caravan to free my dwarves.
