:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

I’m testing the new feature “go back to work” and the hotkey for it.
I have my villagers working, and put them inside buildings but not on a Town Center. I select the closest town center and I see the new button “everybody back to work”. If I click on the button with the mouse, everything goes as expected, and all the vills inside the buildings go back to work. However, if instead I try to use the hotkey, on my case “v” it doesn’t do anything.
However, if there is any vill inside the tc in question, going back to work with the hotkey does work.

However, if instead I try to use the hotkey, on my case “v” it doesn’t do anything.
However, if there is any vill inside the tc in question, going back to work with the hotkey does work.
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. start a random map
  2. build 2 towers and a castle
  3. set the 3 vills to do something else
  4. put each villager inside of a building (not the tc)
  5. test the hotkey on the tc → doesn’t work
  6. test the manual button on the tc → does work
  7. put each villager inside of a building and one of them inside the tc
  8. test the hotkey on the tc → does work

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

The hotkey “v” should put the villagers back to work wheter there were villagers inside it or not. As if clicked on the button manually.
