It appears the option to list events on the System Map isn't working correctly, but I'm trying to verify the bug before I report it.
The screenshots I've taken are 1920 x 1200, so I've linked to them instead of displaying them here. This first screenshot shows the Event Updates screen, where two events happened... Minerals Located, and Officer Update. However, the events on the system map only shows the Officer Update.

In this second screenshot, I show that Minerals Located is active in the Filter screen:

This same problem occured the prior time, where Command Assignment shows, but Minerals Located did not. The only thing I've ever done is change the BG Color on Minerals Located, but I changed it back before attempting this test.
Anyone have any ideas why this is not working as intended? Or is it?

The minerals located event is not an interrupt event so the game keeps running sub-pulses after it has been reported. The Events window lists all events, whereas the system map event list only report current events. So the system map isn't showing the mineral located event because it isn't actually a current event.

Thanks for the explanation Steve. Do you have a list of interrupt, or non-interrupt events (whichever is shorter)? Or perhaps you could indicate on the Events screen filter which events are interrupt or non-interrupt (again, whichever is shorter). Could be as simple as adding an * to the event name, e.g. Minerals Located*. That way I could get the list from the Events filter screen. Or if it's a large list, just add the indicator information to the wiki.
Just an idea. Thanks
