Unequal Post-War Border Access: bug or feature?

[Bankipriel]

Just surrendered to a war of humiliation to begin a ten year truce. I am unable to fly my science ship through their territory to explore in that direction because "borders are closed." And yet, their war fleets are merrily cruising through my territory.

Is this a function of losing the war? Or is something broken with truces and borders?

If this is WAD, it would be an interesting change.

On one hand, being able to close borders ASAP would be nice and sometimes thematic, but would result in lots of ships instantly going MIA which could leave some countries defenceless against other attackers for a while.

I have noticed that the AI seems to be able to close their boarders to me at the 5 year mark, were as I have to wait till the 10 year truth mark.
