If I zoom out completely in normal play, I can see land which is in fog of war in map view.
If I try to ghost-build in that area from map view, I get the error "Can't build in fog of war" as expected. But if I try to ghost build from normal view in the same area (which is displayed as perfectly visible and normal), simply nothing happens; nothing is ghost build, and no error message is displayed.

Thanks! 7 minutes from bug reported to bug fixed at 23:00 in the evening is an acceptable response time.
