When you ride anything(boat, minecarts, pigs etc.) when you press F5 and then return to the normal first person view, you will notice that your hands are on the map and change their place. This bug is also noted in the minecraftwiki's "maps" page but I didn't see any created issues here... Anyways here are some screenshots:
Since 14wXX the corner of the map gets covered even when not riding a vehicle.

I can't always reproduce this issue by following the steps instructed above but around 90% of the time it happens while I'm riding a boat. Never happened when on foot. Makes exploring the left bottom corner of the map very hard since I can't see neither myself nor the map. I've tried re-installing the game by deleting the ".minecraft" folder but didn't solve the problem for me. My client version is 1.4.4 and it's a vanilla - not modded.
Actually this is an old issue existing since the map has been added i think but it never got fixed. It hope they fix this issue in 1.5 or another patch in 1.4
I didn't know that. I've been actually using maps since 1.4.4. I hope they will fix this soon. It makes it even harder when the map level is 5 since the hand covers a lot more bigger area then. On the other hand, I guess Mojang didn't even confirm this glitch yet, did they? Also, there are multiple reports here all regarding this same glitch.
Not only after pressing F5. I pressed F1.
