Colonists leave items unfinished but start new ones?

I've also had this happen with 2 Tailor workbenches and a Do Until You Have X bill, but the bills were the same on both tailor benches.  Two colonists each started tailoring, one finished first (fulfilling the bill), and the second one is left unfinished because its bill is fulfilled.  So I just temporarily bump the bill up by 1, finish the job, then notch it down again.  It's micro-y, but it works.

A great point for a far future feature of assigning a crafter to his or her own bench.
