Bones going over the top of coffins...
Is this a bug? I've noticed a few times that when dwarfs get put in a coffin, their bones appear over the coffin, not inside it. Very minor thing, just kind of ruins the aesthetics.

Most likely a sorting issue for the sprites which get displayed. It's the same for open or closed coffins... if you ask me, all unused tombs should show open coffins, all used tombs should show closed coffins. Bones/skeletons shouldn't show at all (well maybe if there was a special tomb setting where you _want_ the skeleton on display). Which doesn't happen either.

This is exactly how it works in my game, never seen anything else.

Yeah for the most part the coffin sprites work just fine.

Occasionally dwarves will throw random people's corpse parts in or on top of other tombs tho, even though I have lots of unused ones available, all properly individually zoned of course. It's a bit weird and I'm not entirely sure what's up with that, but it's not really causing any problems for me so i don't worry too much about it.

Just confirming - This is how it is in my game as well.

Though, that there could be a layer issue is worrying. If it happened to me, I'd save, ext, Verify my local files, then restart to see if that fixed it. (One of those actions "should" fix it.)
