Hi @raulramirez91 !
I do not remember that bug, just in case I tested it and seems to be working fine. If you find it in any civilization please let me know and I will give it a second check 
It happens to me all time, i took a screenshot for you
just gather with many vills on berrybushes and in some way they would stop gathering when the berry bushes is finished, and after making all the idle villagers work on something, the flag for idle villagers dissapear, but these two villagers werent detected as idle.

Oh its true!
Thanks @raulramirez91, we are now tracking this issue 
please fix it, having around 10 idle villagers and not notification about that really ruins the game, it happens all the time, huge disadvantage for civs that depends on food gathering, try it with russia it always happen with russia

on that map always happen berry bushes idle villager bug
also chinese player click to attack trading post and the explorer doesnt move.
the bug of villagers not being reported as idle when they have stopped gathering from berry bushes once the berrybush is depleted and dissapeared hanst been fixed
is this in the horizon?
ive waited a long time
please fix it
many times its not worthwhile to make villagers gather berrybushes instead of mills because we wont know if they stopped gathering

Yeah, this issue is annoying, and happening since legacy.
Villagers don’t find another berry bush, and the current one, is already being gathered on by 8 vills, Wich makes them stuck.
Can happen with hunts too, if they reach the end of the map, and can’t reach the hunt anymore…
