0005734: Can't mass forbid stones from Stocks screen
In the save http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6043 [^] (MANAGER NOTE: save no longer available), I can't mass-forbid certain stones in the stocks screen. Selecting a stone type and pressing F un-forbids it if some or all of that type are forbidden, but for certain types, it will not forbid them if none of that type are forbidden. So rather than toggling, 'F' turns off forbid, but cannot turn it back on.

If I press tab to list them individually then I can forbid each stone, but there are tens of thousands of them, so this is inconvenient. Also, doing this with an indiscriminate macro forbids ones that are parts of buildings, which would normally be skipped by mass-forbid.
In the linked save, go to the stones section of the stocks screen, and try to mass forbid any of the following:

- granite
- diorite
- gabbro
- andesite
- dacite
- cobaltite
- olivine
- orthoclase
- microcline
- selenite
- alunite

Do you have a save showing your report from 0008814? It seems to be a duplicate of 0005734, but the save provided in that report is no longer available.

Thank you.

Pressing 'f' on a stocks screen group bulk unforbids if any item is forbidden, otherwise it bulk forbids. Items that are used in buildings are not forbidden or unforbidden by the bulk commands, but they are still checked when deciding whether the group should be bulk unforbidden. That means an item used for a building then forbidden, will cause 'f' on the group to always bulk unforbid (because there is always a forbidden item in the group).

Behavior confirmed in v0.43.05x32.

Reproducible scenario:

1) embark with a few stone blocks of one type
2) verify you can group forbid/unforbid the blocks on the stocks screen
3) build a workshop using a block
4) use the [t] menu to forbid the workshop block
5) verify you cannot group forbid the blocks on the stocks screen any more
