I've found that sometimes the movement lines don't show. This seems to happen early in the game and usually occurs in only one or two systems. I don't know why.
If you have a problem like this where the lines don't show up only for some systems it's most likely the only paths available go through damaging warp points, a known minefield, or you may have inadvertantly setup a system as a restricted system and your empire options are to not pass through restricted systems. It's fairly easy to accidentally mark systems as restricted by merely clicking on them on the "systems to avoid map".
Of course, I checked all those things. This has occurred launching my first colonizer to a known system (could be my second or third launch of the game). My first colonizer finds a system with a good planet, but I usually send it farther along to the next warp point and send my next available colonizer to the candidate planet instead. That's when the pathing lines don't show up... in either system. I don't know why, but one guess has to do with the order the systems were created in map generation.
