I first noticed it with Otto from the Shøp; I'd tap the chair icon to collect the chairs and release the characters, then quickly put them all back to work. But Otto would wander off as though he didn't get the message, sometimes straying as far as the tunnel before turning around and heading back. This really messed with my routine, as 5 of them would finish at the same time, and then 20 seconds later Otto would finish. I got so bugged I put him on a 24 hr. task and left five to build chairs. Then it started happening with Grampa at the coffee house, and then Louie. Coffee's too important to have only four people making it, so putting them on other tasks isn't an option. Anybody else having trouble with this? I didn't see any other threads about it, so maybe not
I know exactly why this is happening, as it happened to me with Otto and Grandpa-not with Louie as I'd figured it out by then. You know when a character completes a task and they do a little victory movement of some kind? Well Otto, Grandpa, and presumably Louie, have longer animations, and it interferes with the giving of tasks, as they wander off a little first then move towards the task building.
My solution is to just wait until they're done, or not tapping the crafting building to instantly collect the crafted items. By then, their victory animation is done! :)
