0000377: Doors do not deconstruct when all adjacent walls are removed
Previously if a door no longer had any adjacent walls it would deconstruct itself. Now the door can remain as a free standing object after the wall is removed. This is potentially an exploitable behavior and should maybe be fixed.
1. place a single wall tile in an open area
2. place door adjacent to this wall
3. remove the wall

I can confirm this in 31.08. If the only adjacent wall is a natural wall, mining it out will deconstruct the door. But if the only adjacent wall is a constructed wall, removing it with Remove Construction will leave the door suspended in midair.

As an addition to this, doors do not even deconstruct when the tile they are resting on becomes deconstructed. This applies to floodgates as well, probably any furniture. It's exploitable-- consider the discussion at http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=103940.msg3073949#msg3073949, [^] which is about a technique for which hanging doors/floodgates are useful. Last confirmed in v34.05.
