Map not displaying Empire Ownership correctly

from GalCiv2 Forums
Basically, after playing a game for a while and turning on 'ownership' on the map (the one in the bottom right corner). When zooming in (either via the scroll wheel or via the + button) on the map some of the planets on the map lose their colour and look as if they are not colonised, it gets really annoying cause i wanna zoom in on the larger maps to see where my ships are better and its difficult to see which of the planets is mine or an allies/enemies.
