[.299 Bug?] Unable to move through cities

Not sure if this is a bug or intended but my units cannot pass through my city without me garrisoning them then undoing it and hoping they pop out on the right side of the city.  In fact, my cities got so large that it became unplayable.

I had similar issues with cities becoming road blocks between mountain passes. With the inability to select exactly where garrisoned troops appear when leaving cities I basically became trapped in one tiny corner of the map until I demolished everything in the city.

Note sure what the reasoning behind not being able to walk on city improvement tiles was, but it does not make for fun gameplay.

Yep, I've also noticed this. In fact...I think that even caravans can block the movement of the units...

when you put your unit in the city, you can select their profile icon and then right-click to move them out of the city where you'd like.  Of course, it would be nice if they would pathfind through the city.

I've had units garrison in the cities, then be unable to come back out. I can press the little up arrow all day, but they just sit in the center of the city forever.

I had one game where I built a city right next to that gems deposit by the southeastern lake. Couldn't send my pioneer through the city to get it. He couldn't even leave it after stationing in the city. Similar stuff happens when there's no way around a city. You have to garrison, and then let them out the other side. It seems, too, that units don't leave a city right now to it's borders, but one or two squares away. Hence why that nice tile was unaccessible.
