Wide rings not visible

Hey there,

after several times this has happened to me I assume it is a bug and wanted to know if there's a workaround.
Everytime I find a planet with a wide ring, e.g. 4 up to 24 million kilometers, this particular ring (mostly B ring) is not visible when I'm there. System map is showing the exact size of the ring but it's not there. I also looked at the orrery view and I exactly was where it should be. I didn't even get an impact message as I first thought it may be just barely visible.
It happened more than 10 times. I never could see any wide ring until now. They were always invisible.

Any more people having trouble with this?
 
I do feel I have had this, but just written it off and moved on. I don't think it's massively uncommon, I'll keep an eye out over the weekend and pay a bit more attention.
 
Those very wide rings usually have surprisingly low mass. Low mass spread over vast volume, no wonder we can't see them. :)

Umm... Yes, I do encounter these every now and then.
 
So low you actually don't even an impact message?
Yes.
Can't interact with them in game at all, only see them in system map / orrery.
I've seen reports of someone accidentally bumping into such 'invisible' rings, so that seems to be possible, just not very likely.

Okay, then I can only hope I'll get some wide rings that one can actually see in the future. It's a bit disappointing that you can't see them all the time.
