Game didn't detect changes in blocked build targets once unblocked

I mined out a hallway and an 8 x 8 room underground. I then build 4 wooden walls lining the inside of the cave room. Before they were built, I started moving my crafting tables into the cave against the unbuilt wooden wall blueprints. This caused the wooden wall blueprints to get a ! because they were now unreachable to  build. So I moved the now built crafting tables out of the way of the unbuilt wall blueprints. (Nothing is now blocking the unbuilt wall blueprints, not even other blueprints.) That didn't change the obstructed !. I then cancelled the unbuilt walls and then tried to completely rebuild them from scratch again now with no obstructions. The new wall blueprints again had the ! saying I cannot build because they are still obstructed. This must be a bug, unless there is some explanation I cannot think of to correct this. Awesome game in general, really loving it!

EDIT: I should add that I also had a stockpile zone in the same room. And when I saw the obstructed ! wall, if I tried to extend the zone into that adjacent square, I couldn't, but could only create a new stockpile zone there, unconnected to the rest in that square. Strange since there shouldn't be anything different about that square since there are no obstacles blocking it.

This is from after the restart but I made no changes from then.

A reload of the game did clear this issue.

Are you using a stack size mod?

Can you take a screenshot of the jobs screen?

I have a similar issue now. It says that the crafting tables are unreachable. I am not sure what that means in this situation. I set up a screen shot where I summoned all my nobles into the room with the crafting tables blueprints with ! that say unreachable and took the pic. This condition has been persistent for a few minutes at this point.

Ok cool. Pathing rebuilds on startup so maybe something was just stuck.

I just reloaded the game and the issue is resolved. There are no more ! warnings on the wall blueprints.

One thing worth noting is that there's lag in the pathing updating - so allowing access to something can take up to like 30s to take effect - it's possible that that's what you were seeing, but probably not since a workbench shouldn't block access to walls to begin with.
