Animal breeding hitching post bug

[RickyP602]

It is hard to verify and prove this bug with screenshots and i've only duplicated it with horses on accident. If you have a male and a female horse both tied to hitching posts, the horses will mate, and the male will no longer be hitched to the post. This is only part of the bug however. This will also happen even if the animals are hitched far away. Currently have horses hitched over 30 squares apart and it has happened 3 times.

There is a bug with hitching and map borders: should the animal move out of the map section that holds the post the hitch will break when the area unloads.

Don't build them near map borders.

This hitching post is 27 tiles from a grid line and the horse only breaks free from it when the female is ready to mate.

Where is the other one, by chance on another map?

Then it seems we have two hitching post bugs...

Will try to look at this.
