Mechanics not fixing vandalized things when walking by them

[Indiglow]

I thought mechanics were supposed to fix vandalized items? I had a mechanic assigned to an area that had 2 broken tables and a vandalized trash bin. They walked right by them and kept going.

Why aren't any of the mechanics fixing these things?

I can imagine, that mechanics have some sort of priority management KI. Maybe fixing broken benches is on the lower end of that list. That in mind: Maybe your park is big enough that there is always a enclosure that needs maintainence (probably top priority). Try telling a mechanic to repair inventory only (not facilities or habitats).
I hope I am right and that solves your issue.

They do appear to have a priority system but I do think that vandalised item fixing is bugged .. I had one mechanic do it once (honest.. image attached) .. and left the one next to it to go wandering....

I believe someone else posted about this and someone has reported it as a bug.

Priority system wise:
Habitat Repair is their primary concern .. if you don't want that to be their priority .. remove it from their list.
Facility Repair ( Power ) is their next target ... I usually have at least one concentrate on power and water alone.
Facility Repair (Water) is their next target ..

I unfortunately lost track of my science project target when my back was turned while he was in the staff room rofl. So can't confirm the situation beyond that until I test it again on the penultimate scenario which has so many damages to fix from the get go .. its a great testing ground for mechanics rofl.
