Cancelled Digging Orders (Falling Sand)

I honestly do not know if this counts as a bug but it is something to be looked at: If I place a digging order on sand and blocks below sand, the sand would fall and the digging order on the sand would be cancelled, I would have to order a dig on that block again, priority is also an issue for it if I were to place the first order on a specific priority, it's unnecessary. (I will retype this if necessary in a different place too, I just don't know where, the bug forums are the best place I could think of, [removed] this is my email if you wanna tell me where to post this in the future, if I posted it in the right place I still wanna retype it, just because I don't want people to see my email adress, please don't approve this to be posted into the comment section for all to see, I just wanted to inform you of this)

Steps to Reproduce
I think I would rather tell you why this happens rather than you reproducing the issue: If I were to dig uncracked sand and it falls into f.e. unswept dirt just lying there as a resource to be swept up, it would consume the dirt and thus become cracked, having an item inside of it (the dirt that it fell on) I think the reason why the digging order gets cancelled is because I placed a digging order on Sand, not Cracked Sand or whatever the ingame name is, if that's not the case then I also noticed that while the sand is falling, it disappears but you can still see the flowing sand particles, it doesn't get classified as a block while it falls (I think) so there is no reason to dig a particle effect, so it gets cancelled. EDIT: i've actually been corrected, if you place a digging order on a specific coordinate and sand starts falling on that dig coordinate, your duplicants will dig it out, it's hard to explain but there are some cases where this would not happen and i would have to re-order my duplicants to dig the sand out.

You're not marking the sand for digging though, you're marking that grid coordinate for digging.
As that coordinate is now empty, there is nothing to dig there.

it's still pretty annoying to add a series of dig commands and then suddenly sand starts falling while getting in your duplicants' way, the problem cannot be addressed unless i actually go back to the digging site and place new orders to remove the sand, i have a knack for multitasking as in, giving duplicants a dig order while managing my resources or telling my other duplicants what to do.
