Summary

0004822: Overlap problem between downward staircase designations and smoothing the floor

Description

I had a large room designated for smoothing the stone, and then over the top of that I designated a downward staircase to be dug. The staircase was completed okay (completed first), but for some reason the smoothing stone designation had not gone away when I designated the staircase, and the floor was later smoothed there. My staircase disappeared, and was replaced by smooth stone floor.

Steps To Reproduce

Designate an area to be smoothed (perhaps large so they don't get to it quickly).
Designate a downward stair and wait for it to be dug.
Wait for the smoothing to happen (or lessen the area).
Observe nonexistent staircase.

Additional Information

I imagine this will also be the case for engraving instead of smoothing, and maybe channeling instead of the downward staircase, but I don't know and haven't tested it. I also don't know if the same will happen if I switch the order and designate a downward staircase and then the smoothing before the stair is dug.
