Popup galaxy map not complete

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've noticed when playing on really big maps (huge or gigantic) that the cool little galaxy popup map (the one you get when you click the little triangle by the zoom buttons on the minimap) never shows the entire galaxy. It seems like it is always just showing a portion of the bottom-left "corner" of the galaxy. Is this normal? If so, is there some way to pan this map to show different parts of the galaxy?

Edit: Ok, so I found out the trick, and it's still a bug, but a very minor one. It seems that the first map that is loaded is what "size" the minimap popup will get set to and then will never change, even if a new map is loaded.

For example - I start the game, pick a small galaxy size and start a new game. When I open the popup minmap, it looks fine - it's just big enough to show a small galaxy. Then I return to the main menu and select a new game with a gigantic galaxy size. Now, when I open the popup minimap, it is still only large enough to show a "small" galaxy (from my first game) so it cuts off most of the galaxy.

Closing and restarting the program seems to fix it. I guess I need to quit restarting so much.

Yep I ran into this today while taking screenshots for my guide. I also found you have to close the game and re-launch. I wish the pop=up map were much larger though (although maybe it's bigger if you run at a lower rez than 1600x1200).
