0009866: "Additional Options" remain white even if all sub-categories are gray
When setting custom stockpiles, if you accidentally block "allow plant/animal" and allow "non-plant animal" (so that both of these are gray), "Additional Options" will remain bright white as if both were still being allowed.

This is different from how all other categories and sub-categories behave (white if all allowed, light gray of at least one subcategory is blocked.
1) [p] -> [t] (open custom stockpile screen).
2) Navigate to "Additional Options" (at the bottom of the list).
3) [b] (to block all).
4) See "Additional Options" still in white.
This caused quite a bit of confusion when my dwarves suddenly stopped hauling rocks to two stockpiles.
No tags attached.

The "Additional Options" menu items are so broad as to be useless, and the category is treated differently from every other category (AND instead of OR) which leads to player confusion and frustration. Perhaps removing "Additional Options" would be the best solution here.
