0006725: Mason suspend wall construction because of his odd self behaviour
A very strange behaviour.

Please use the provided saved game i uploaded to dropbox (dont right click -> save as, the link is in fact going to the download page, it's not a direct link)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r12lahzvvwq8qp3/saveoddsuspend2.rar [^]

So it will start the bug exactly as i explain in the screenshot :

Make sure to start the game paused (by default it should)
With the red arrow i designed the dwarf that is the mason and the wall section in construction that is currently "suspended"

Now i press q and move the cursor to the suspended wall and press S to make the "suspended" change to "inactive"

Un-pause the game.

The mason will react soon after and he will start to move toward the nearby stone stockpile .
But then he will stop, move back and will mysteriously go on the exact location of that wall construction as shown in this screenshot :

There the mason will wait for unknown reason, and after some time the message about the Mason cancelling construction due to a creature occupying the site (and that creature was itself)
No tags attached.

i forgot to mention, the only way to have it work is to cancel completely that specific wall and re-order its construction
