Isn't this part normal intended operation?

Sometimes you want to assign multiple handymen to the same tile.

No, let’s say you’ve already selected a path 3 tiles wide for a handyman and want to edit his patrol area, but don’t know which one is assigned there. So you click on the button to see all of the handymen’s already selected tiles, which all show up gray as usual, if you click on the 3 tile wide selection, it will mistake that click for an addition to that handyman’s area instead of just choosing that handyman’s area to edit, and it’ll add a 4x4 square wherever you clicked that you then need to erase. I think that could be solved more immediately by making the default tile selection size 1x1 instead of 4x4, but because closing windows and pressing other buttons sometimes will place/select patrol area tiles, it seems like that’s the source of both problem, that clicking without intention to add tiles adds tiles.

I see this issue too. I've also seen over half of my park suddenly become assigned to the staff's patrol area. Seems to me that the best solution is to not automatically turn on patrol area painting when clicking thhe "locate staff" button.

Bug confirmed. It seems like it really shouldn't do any action if the tile has no patrol mark.

Hopping in to fix the issue!
