Summary0000114: Kill orders not cleared after completion
DescriptionI ordered a squad to kill a troll, which they did, but then they just stood around the area keeping the "Kill Troll" order active. I'm assuming they should cancel it once the troll is dead.
Steps To ReproduceSelect a [s]quad, [k] attack and select a target creature. After the creature is dead, the order will remain active.

I would also like to add that the order also remains active if the target has left the map.

The order also remains active between worlds and saves.

to reprodue, follow steps above, then gen a new world and activate a dwarf into service.

I've had this problem as well.

For the moment, you can solve this issue by manually cancelling orders in the Squad screen.

I have this problem too. at still says "kill Urist McAlreadydead" even after he dies so you have to cancel it.

This may be a feature. If a goblin ambush is charging at you and you order your dwarves to kill on of them, they'll attack whichever goblin they see. But of the goblin you happened to tell them to kill dies and the order canceled, The dwarves where weren't on active duty before the order would go civvie and get slaughtered.

The kill order should become a station order on completion really.

Agreed with above, while it's not what you might expect, it actually makes sense for them to continue to gather in the area of the corpse until dismissed.
