[OpenLayers-Users] very large polygon disappears at very high zoom level

[Michael Ryan]

I just wanted to confirm that very large polygons disappear at very
high zoom levels (e.g. 17).

For example, see the polygon example at
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.11/examples/regular-polygons.html

Choose "large" for the size, "circle" for the shape. Draw the polygon,
then start zooming in. When you get to around the 2nd to last zoom
level, the polygon disappears.

For my purposes, I have workarounds, but before I implement them, I
just want to make sure this is just a limitation of OL and not
something else I'm doing wrong.
