Here I can see copper patch and biters base on screen, but not on minimap:

The game runs in maximized windowed mode on full hd display on mac os x 10.9.5.

You're probably one chunk too far away from both situations (check by enabling the grid using F5), so the minimap doesn't update. If you get a bit closer (cross the next thick gridline into the next chunk), the minimal will update. So the bug is probably that the maximum zoom on big screens shows a bit more than the minimap was designed for :)

Yeah, you basically have a miniature radar that works on chunks, so if you're standing in the top left corner of one chunk, the minimap doesn't update as far as you can actually see.

It's only really an issue if you have a large screen resolution, and are zoomed out, in most cases, it's fairly good.
