Topic: Basic Tutorial: Error "Quarry not connected"

It's been some years since I last played Widelands, but now as version 1.3 was released I wanted to have a look again.

Even if I'm familiar with basic game play I started the basic tutorial, just for fun. When I had to build the second quarry I decided to not connect it directly to the headquarters. I placed a flag on the road to the first quarry and built a road from the second quarry to that flag. Immediately a message window openend with the title mentioned in the subject. The further text was:

Your workers do not like to walk across country.
You have to build a road from your headquarters to the construction site so that carriers can transport wares.

Of course there was a road, and the carriers came out of the headquarters and transported the wares needed for building the quarry.

The strange thing is that I wasn't able to reproduce that issue from starting with a savegame just before the objective was created. But I can reproduce it when I start the tutorial from the beginning.

I installed Widelands 1.3 on Windows 11 Home (inplace-upgrade from Windows 10). I don't think any previous version of Widelands was installed on that notebook before.
