Summary0005214: 'Remove Desgination' Fails on Taken Construct Jobs
DescriptionIf a job is taken by a Dwarf, the 'Remove Designation' designation fails to remove the job (specifically, in regards to removing constructions). To remove it, you must often use an alert to stop the Dwarf; before he/she can finish. Once the job is no longer taken, it may be removed.
Steps To Reproduce1. Build a wall or floor.
2. Set it to be removed from the designation screen.
3. When a Dwarf is in the process of removing it, attempt to use the 'Remove Designation' designation to prevent him from doing so.
Additional InformationThe bug in question is happening on the Mayday graphical version of the game, which is reputable and almost-always stable. The tileset shouldn't have any impact on the game, as it worked in previous versions.

Hopefully this can be reproduced and fixed on other computers. It is incredibly difficult to deal with, as this often means stopping every single job just to prevent a Dwarf from killing himself/herself.

This also seems to be the case with removing other jobs that would normally be removed with the "Remove Designation" designation.
