0005722: Work Animals screen doesn't refresh when switching to a different dwarf
When assigning (or viewing) war or hunting animals on an individual dwarf, it displays oddly unless you "exit out" and return by pressing (p) (e) again. Without doing that, changing to a new dwarf to assign an animal (or see what he has assigned) continues to display the animal(s) previously assigned.

For instance, I assign a war animal to Fighter A. Then I go to Hunter B without "canceling" the war animals screen, and assign a hunting animal to him. He now has "1 war animal assigned" and "1 hunting animal assigned" on his display. I then go to Fighter C, and without assigning anything he's listed as having 1 war animal and 1 hunting animal assigned.

So to actually get the proper animals assigned to a dwarf, you have to basically do dwarf fortress version of a "forced refresh."

Note that this holds true even if you're just viewing the animals already assigned to a dwarf, and aren't assigning any at the moment.
