Is this normal?

[Tokomi]

Situation:
I have several Poor Houses that have no occupants. The two former occupants (Husband and Wife) are deceased and are represented by headstones. They have no children living in the home. It is, for all intents and purposes, empty. Yet, no one will move back into the house. I call this a "Haunted House." I have many many houses that have several adults living as children in them, so you should expect them to move out and marry. They do not.

+ Village population is 591 with many dozen houses.
+ Food: 549 meals.
+ There is NOT enough firewood or coal in the houses, but *numeric* thousands just sitting in the wood-choppers' workstations. Which is a whole different issue I have...
+ Silver is in 5,249.

I can't figure out why they won't move in other than *possibly* the coal/firewood shortages, but that makes no good sense since there is plenty of it and they just won't go grab it.

Is this normal (i.e. WAI or bug)?
Is there a note from the devs that they are aware of this issue (assuming it is a bug)?
Is there a workaround that does not involve demolishing the structure?

Additional Detail: I also have houses where one of the married couple have died, and houses where both mother and father have died, both of these situations have children still living in the home. This makes sense. But a "Haunted House" (abandoned/empty/unoccupied) house that no one will move into, does not make sense to me.
Thanks for clearing this up!

Thank you for report. We are aware of this bug and are trying to fix it. For now, Save/Load will probably fix the problem.

I have hade a simillar bug in my first game, occuring with a large population (800+. But I didn't knew to discribe this, as good as Tokomi does. I recogniced also that all my "haunted houses" were occupied by the same (dead) villagers.
All villagers were screaming for firewood, while my storrage had plenty of it.

Curious if this is still being worked on or developed? I enjoy the game but these issues are still popping up.

I was also curious if the games still being developed, especially with competition like Manor Lords popping up

something I noticed, these people don't like to walk that much. It's better to make small neighborhoods than big ones. I have the same problem with some people who say "I don't have a house" when some are empty.... They are always complaining....

I also have this same bug, even the new houses are all filled by this dead guy and his dead wife.

У меня другая ошибка, люди не могут работать в каменоломне, в 1 из 4, они заходят и выходят из нее, заходят и телепортируются в дом управителя и далее процесс повторяется. Так же, ветка с домом трэллов открылась, но изучить ее невозможно, нет кнопки для изучения.
