Problems with revealing areas for Fog of War

When trying to reveal areas with Fog of War enabled, if I get too close to the edge of the screen while dragging the box, I'm getting a problem where it suddenly reveals the entire map (instead of only revealing area of the box I was drawing). Then, if I go to page settings, turn off Fog and save, then turn on Fog again and save... the map "fixes itself", showing the Fog the way I intended it to look. I'm also getting some similar weird revealing bugs when trying to re-hide areas with the tool. Kinda hard to explain, so I'm attaching some pics. #1 shows after the glitch, where only a box area of the map should be showing, but instead is showing the entire screen. #2 shows what it looks like after I turn Fog off and back on again. It appears this bug is only happening from the GM point of view. I logged into my campain using a test player, and the glitchy reveals did not show up on their map view. GM account using Mac OS X 10.5.8 running Firefox 12.0 Test player account on the same computer, running Google Chrome 18.0
Update: This bug now seems to be happening within this campaign whether or not I'm dragging the box near the edge of the map. In a different test campaign, I wasn't having this problem... it only started in this campaign when I drew a box that went right to the edge of the upper left corner of the screen.
Thanks for pointing this out. There are a couple of other bugs with the FoW tool that I'll be looking at, hopefully I can fix them all at once.
Hopefully these issues are resolved in the next update. Let me know if you are still having problems with FoW stuff after it goes out later today.
