When a worker is activated and the Shift+P command is pressed the worker no longer automaticaly clears the pollution.

From the Civpedia:

Clear Damage (Shift-C)
Removes Pollution, including fallout from a Volcanic Eruptions,
and Craters.

Automate: Clear Damage (Shift-D)
Automates the worker, giving it the task of clearing all nearby pollution, including Craters
and fallout from a Volcanic Eruptions.

I haven't read the manual yet (waiting for the weekend :) )
Thanks for the info.

Other than looking into the manual or pedia, you could prevent these kind of um... 'bugs' ;) by displaying all worker command buttons (check prefs) and moving the mouse over the command buttons (keyboard short cut and actual number of turns to complete task are displayed). :)

My Bad.
I suppose I should have read the civilopedia to check if they had simply changed the keyboard shortcut for some odd reason.
The thing is... If I was reading the civilopedia then I wouldn't be playing the game (you can see my dilemma ;) )

thanks again for the info,

The keyboard shortcut was changed for an unknown reason.

SHIFT-D is the new shortcut for automatically clearing pollution.

SHIFT-D is also the keyboard shortcut for initiating diplomacy. Many times when I try to bring up the diplomacy screen I wind up automatically assigning my worker (which was the active unit) to clear pollution.

A real pain since you lose the worker for that turn.
