If a "mark this area for mining" order is drawn that includes the outer-most square of the map before it is revealed as the outermost square, then it cannot later be erased.
I believe this is the source behind several complaints about the color-coding of mining commands breaking.

what happens when you click this?

Yes, that worked, so I shall amend my report: the "erase" function is what's broken. It appears to properly remove the "mine here" marking for the duration of that game session, but upon saving/loading, then the markings are back on the border wall.

it's just a visual issue. it happens randomly and is pretty hard to reproduce, that extra layer never used to be there, it was added as drones used to get stuck in the void.

The problematic markings persist between saves/loads. Are you saying the difficulty to reproduce is in triggering them in the first place?

if we can't reproduce it, its not fixable.

Understandable. Based upon where I had persistent markings, the repro method seems to be: paint a line to the edge prior to revealing that it is the edge. When the diggers excavate up to that point & the border wall is revealed as the border wall, it cancels their ability to excavate (the border wall) but doesn't clear the marking.
So I think the code fix is in the segment that checks whether the digger can/can not excavate that block. If it can't excavate AND it's not rare mineral basalt, THEN the dig marking should be cleared.
