Description
In the 'bug move' save you can see him totally stuck not finding a path to go to.
I opened that door first, then middle mouse clicked the opposite door and he then started doing this.

Using the debugger shows this to be a continual recalculation of the path, leaving the avatar continually stuck in a loop.
Commit 18c6eb8c31d9e208c6396fd4d8dc8cbf1741369b makes another middle-click stop the old pathfinder, which allows you to break the loop. However, this bug is still valid as the pathfinder fails to create a valid path in this case.
This may harder to reproduce now, so the attached save may be the best way to see issue. The middle-click navigation does not tie in to normal movement, so other movement options do not cancel it and it does not appear to end on its own.
