When using a grid, squares are automatically shaded to show how much space a creature takes up, and how far its reach extends (based on the space/reach numbers in the combat tracker). However, the shaded reach shown is incorrect for every value above 10 feet. This is because it is just shading large squares (e.g. a square 45 feet on a side for a creature with space/reach of 15/15), and not allowing for the additional diagonal distances.

A full set of space & reach diagrams appear in the back of the 3.5 DMG, but I can't find an online reference for them. Essentially, it's the "walking" distance that is covered for any reach of 15 feet or more.

The general FG engine does support the display of non-square regions under character tokens, so the best I could do at this point would be to disable reach display altogether. At this point, this is a feature request.

Thanks,

Having the wrong area displayed is worse than having nothing displayed, so I would appreciate having this as a feature - thanks. Note that the creature space is always square, so that element shouldn't be disabled.
