[Bug] Medical Beds trap prisoners, staff

[Magos]

After building a Medical Ward I find that a large proportion of those using its services are trapped in the bed after being healed. Both prisoners and guards seem to stop simulating completely when this occurs. Giving ordes to search prisoners creates a job which is never completed. Prisoners who run into this do not seem to relinquish their assigned Cell, or at least, I find my Holding Cell overflows while I still have many Cells unused after this has started happening. It does not seem to "occupy" the bed, as I've seen multiple people stuck on the same bed once.

(System is Windows 7 64 bit)

I've also seen this every round i've played (including the example prison from chris)
Also on a rare occasion this happens at the canteen at the serving table, if you then search the subject thats "stuck" they sometimes get shoved into the wall

As above (x2!) and also on Windows 7 - 64 bit.

Perhaps it is something to do with being a 64 bit OS? Any 32 bit folks have this happen too?

All my inmates are stuck in the canteen and hospital beds.. it's somewhat amusing. I've tried deconstructing the walls, but they just mope around idling, guards ignore them and they don't move

Also on Win7 x64 and have seen this behavior. It happened for me in the Canteen when I searched a prisoner right when he was preparing to eat.

Now, he just stays right where I searched him-- doesn't ever move, or get angry. Tried searching him again a day or two after getting him stuck with no effect.

Same here, I'm beginning to think this is a known bug by now.

You know whats funny? Dwarf Fortress has this same bug sometimes.

I've found the solution to this is to manually get the doctor to heal them all, then click on the prisoners and transfer them to holding cells. Once that's done, the other staff tend to leave.

How do you do this? I had four injured prisoners who just sat around doing nothing - not even eating. I clicked the doctor thinking I could send her over to heal them, but the only option I had was "sack".

Click on the doctor, then right click on the actor you wish to heal.

Right click works as an action button on most actors (move, detain, clean, transfer prisoner, etc.)

You saved many lives today... more or less.

This evens works for every prisoner that is lying around doing nothing (i got some of that type in my shower and cantina).

I had this happen too. Seems to be a case of the prisoner still being assigned a cell but getting 'Stuck'. If u reassign ur cells to solitary and then back to normal Ur guards will re-assign prisoners including those that are 'stuck'. Takes a while and is a pain but U can get them all back to normal. Oh and when they get put in a cell and reset their needs are all full. So they usually end up soiling themselves and then falling alseep!

I have winXP 32 bit and also have the same problem...

[Treehugga]

you don't need to heal them, just select them and move them into a cell, or even the holding cell.

this is the biggest bug in my opinion and is really aggravating me when I have upwards of 10 prisoners stuck in the medical ward.

Confirming also seeing this bug on my x64 system.
