Exploring/Roads- Bug or Feature?

After I got ptw, I started a game on easy to test it out. I'm now in the industrial age. Right now, I'm looking for the roads to the persian colonies. Sometimes the roads don't appear on the screen, even when the unit is right on the square. The only clue that I'm standing on a road is the appearance of the pillage option. When I use the pillage option, all the roads in the surrounding squares are revealed. Is this some odd 'feature' or a bug?

Sounds very odd, is this with a std terrian or a modded terrain and tile set.

I noticed something similar on a modded map, when a unit I controlled was right next to improvements I KNEW were there and I still couldn't see them ... I scrolled the map one or two clicks in any direction and poof there they were - might be some kinda graphical snag. The map in question had pre existing railroads

I could move along them one tile at a time for free even though I couldnt see them unless I scrolled the map...

I've noticed the same thing. Seems like the graphics are not refreshing properly.

Scrolling the map worked for me as well.
