Summary0010187: After killing an enemy entire squads will lay down together on a single tile and not move for an extended period of time
DescriptionI've been getting this for a while. I wasn't sure if it was a bug at first, but now I think that it is. This has probably been reported before, but I couldn't find anything about it.

If I order a squad to attack an enemy then after they kill the enemy the entire squad will go prone on top of that enemy's body for ages. I've seen up to ten dwarves laying prone on an enemy's dead body after killing them while completely ignoring all orders to kill/move etc. The only time they will move is if another enemy comes within their range.

This can bring down entire fortresses because the military will run off to kill a fleeing troll on the edge of the map and then they'll just lay on top of the dead troll's body as an entire goblin army walks into the fortress and kills everyone.
Steps To ReproduceMake a fortress with a ten man squad

Order them to kill an enemy that is away from any other enemies
Additional InformationI don't have a save file on hand for this problem, but I can make one if you need it since (at least for me) it is very easy to reproduce.

I forgot to put that this bug also times out after a while if no more enemies approach the prone squad.
