Summary0010040: Lye left over at smelters after buckets are melted.
DescriptionI had apparently melted down metal buckets containing lye and smelters now have lye without containers in them. Checked on some of the smelters with the t key and found lye there. Could be related to the lye-in-the-bucket not being used bug that has now been corrected, or this could be new and may be applicable with any other liquid.

Steps To ReproduceMelt metal buckets with contents. Strangely, this did not work before, so it is strange that I was able to do this at all.

I've also had this happen with filled flasks that had been used by my military before I told them not to carry food & drink, so my smelter has Dwarven Wine [3]. Looking at the "melt item" list on the wiki for containers that can be made of metal, Jugs, Pots, and Barrels should still be tested.

There is also a possible edge case for powders stored in Adamantine bags, but since I've never fiddled with the circus, I don't know if such a bag could be melted.

[edited to add]
I can confirm that this behavior extends to Jugs, Pots, and Barrels made of metal; all of my testing was done in vanilla 43.05.

My guess is that there is a missing check preventing full containers from being melted, or a missing check to turn uncontained liquids into contaminants.
