Summary0007130: you can climb diagonally through walls if there are twigs above the wall
Descriptionwhen the terrain is as follows (side view):
"# 
#x

where # is wall and " is twigs or leaves from a tree and x is empty, it is possible to climb between the twigs and the x.
Steps To Reproducebuild walls as shown next to an existing tree (apparently trees will not grow on their own so close to the walls).
you can now climb through the wall where the tree is.
Additional InformationI found and tested this bug in arena mode, where I created the walls by placing water and magma.

PS: maybe a new category for climbing would be appropriate.

I don't think this is climbing-specific, I'm pretty sure flying creatures were able to do this in previous versions. It might even be intentional on Toady's part; if you have walls diagonally adjacent on the horizontal plane, you can walk between them the same way.

did some further testing, apparently this is an extended result of issue 0007127, because no floor is placed on the twig tile when the wall is created, which might be intended.

Also, a creature that falls onto the open space tile after removing the tree/twigs will be "Flying" and unable to do anything until it dies of dehydration.

In v0.34, flying creatures could move vertically-diagonal through two walls only when the there was a stairway above the lower wall (side view):

X#
#_

Non-flying creatures cannot make the same movement (using a ramp in the lower tile), nor can liquid in the stairway diagonally descend.

Presumably the stairway is acting in a similar manner to override the floor implied by the wall below.
