[A15.1284] Art viewing on a bed causing sleeping issues.

The issue is simple:

When one pawn is doing the 'View Art' joy task and examining the art on a bed and the pawns assigned to that bed happen to get flagged to rest during the same period, the bed will be considered "in use" and the pawns trying to rest will simply fall asleep on the floor.

It makes complete sense why this happens code wise, however, and it's an issue that rarely occurs and so hasn't been spotted before now.

My game's lightly modded, but they're all QoL mods and I don't see how they could influence this behavior.

It should be trivially easy for someone else to confirm, too. Just dev mode one pawn to 0% joy and another to <25% rest and build a double or royal bed of excellent+ quality that's assigned to the tired pawn. Then, draft the tired pawn to prevent him from resting and draft and undraft the joyless pawn until you get the "View art" task. Once the joyless pawn is actively viewing the art, undraft the tired one and watch where he goes to sleep.

Indeed, I observed this behaviour a while back.
It was before I started posting here on the forums, so I forgot about it, and never ended up reporting it.
