Animals on hitching posts sometimes get stuck being "too far away"

[Lisimba 779]

Every once in a while I find that an animal on one of my hitching posts can't be interacted with (e.g. grooming, milking, unhitching). The event tab says "You are too far away to do that." even when I'm standing right on top of the animal, and other animals nearby can be interacted with.

 

This can be fixed with Animals->Unhitch on the hitching post itself, and then rehitching the animals.

 

I've noticed that on unhitching, the animal that was considered too far away will often be moved and/or rotated a bit. I'm not sure if that's relevant but perhaps the animal tried to walk around even though it was hitched, and somehow half-succeeded, getting itself bugged.

This also happens to carts and wagons, though easily fixed by moving the cart and wagon. It normally happens after a server restart.
