0009441: Cannot make quires from paper sheets stored in bins
My stockpile of plentiful paper is completely unusable for making quires if I let them be put in bins (the menu option is red and demands sheets).
Create a stockpile for sheets, and have bins. Produce sheets. Attempt to make quires. Fail. Dump contents of bins, unforbid, and do not allow bins in the stockpile. Stockpile fills with sheets, quires can be made again.
Perhaps related somehow to lye buckets in barrels being unusable for soap making? Can this be applied to red-if-not-available crafting menu items as a whole?
No tags attached.

Sounds like 0008755, "Items in bins (coins, thread, mechanisms, ammo) are sometimes not found for tasks" to me. When somebody is trying to put something in the bin (new sheet) it can get reserved for him/her only till s/he completes the job. There is plenty of such reports around, of bins seemingly randomly blocking future use of items in them (most recently: 0009439, "Finished good stockpile's acting weird when trading").

Save may show if there may be some other thing causing this. Please upload your save (zipped region folder) to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^] and post a link to it here. Thanks.

Yeah... this should probably be labeled as a duplicate. Or related, at the least. I don't think there are any particularly unique circumstances to this. Didn't realize it was this particularly widespread with bins. Only thing I remembered were the ammunition quirks, and the similar quirk with the lye buckets.
