Summary0008710: Weird interaction when pulling levers on repeat.
DescriptionThe guy that pulls the lever goes to the lever and pulls it, then goes back to the meeting area/dining hall, but then when he's halfway there, goes back to the lever and pulls it.

Compared to previous versions, the dwarf would stay at the lever and will keep on pulling it until he's hungry, thirsty or sleepy.
Steps To Reproduce1. Build a lever.
2. Pull it.
3. Put it on repeat.

got the same problem. Repeated levers are much slower than before.

I'd guess that this is caused by the new way of assigning jobs that was introduced in 40.x

If repeat jobs are made to immediately grab the dwarf again, then it would probably prevent a more skilled dwarf from taking over for tasks that matter like workshop crafting.
