Numbers on Token Markers not working with Chat popped

I've always been able to apply numbers to Token Markers and a while back (perhaps more than a year ago) it stopped working when I hosted a game but the numbers works fine when I was preparing for the session. I started to think it was a glitch when other players had joined the game. It happens with both default and custom Token Markers. I cannot find a cause nor anyone else talking about it  in the forum until recently when I came across an automatically  closed thread by Lars E.  Its exactly what I'm experience with more detail than I can provide, but its been closed without any response. I tested what Lars has stated and the issue was the same. Turns out for me and Lars the Token Marker numbers stop working when you pop the chat windows. As I always pop the chat during a game session, it now makes sense why and when this issue occurred as it wasn't other players being logged in at all. My Browser version is: Version 93.0.4577.82 (Official Build) (64-bit) My OS: is Windows 10 Pro 20H2 Additionally, I noted that when I close the popped chat windows it does not appear in the parent Roll20 browser tab, I've never noticed this before as likely I closed everything at the end of the session. So, for this issue I'm forced to refresh to get the chat back. Thanks Lars E. for discovering the cause for me and anyone else who had posted or can provide supporting info on this. Please help us.

The chat window not returning once popped out is a bug with Roll20 on Chrome. I've lost track of the number of times it's been reported, and it is nearly two years old at this point. I was not aware of the correlation between the chat tab being popped out and the loss of token marker numbering. Have you tested on Firefox? (I'm not in a place where I can do that right now.)

I can replicate this on macOS Big Sur Version 11.6 and: Google Chrome Version 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (x86_64)  Firefox Version 92.0.1 The numbers still work if I use the API: !token-mod --set statusmarkers||!red:1

I suspect it has something to do with how the app watches the keyboard, but that's just a wild guess. If the chat window is not available, that particular usage of the keyboard doesn't register. I'd suggest filing a  Help Center Request , but I suspect that if this behavior is related to the chat window being popped out, there won't be a lot of progress. Still, filing a bug report opens a ticket, and tickets accumulate...

Back to you, Rich. ;-)
Thanks for the assist, especially about the Help Center Request as I thought this was the place to report a bug based on the title perhaps another possible issue. Issue Reported and fingers crossed.
Thanks for reporting! I missed this topic earlier, but I added this issue + solution to my thread/extension: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10419077/chat-popout-problems-plus-solutions" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10419077/chat-popout-problems-plus-solutions</a>
Thanks Fnux , yur extension works great. Too bad the devs can't just review your work and implement it, would be one less thing for them to solve. I especially like that you've fixed the tooltips for dice rolls, always miss that info when popping the chat.
