So Frustrating! Please Help!

Hello all, first time poster, longtime pro subscriber here. Besides the obvious (disable all macro settings and scripts), does anyone know how or what I can do to get back in control of my UI?  I keep having to double select tools on the left to make the top blocking ghost menu go away.  It even affects every window I open as it opens in the same place all the time, behind it.  This is causing me some serious slowdowns and in game fumbles recently and I'm out of ideas! Thanks in advance

Hi Longtide! Hmm. What browser/platform/device type are you using? I haven't seen a report like that before.

Thanks in advance Looks like you have a bunch of Token Action macros, I would turn them off.  You can find them in one of two places: 1) the character assigned to the token you are currently clicked on, in the Attributes and Abilities tab for that character.  2) Collections tab in the top right corner of the VTT, your macros. My guess is that you have them set to token actions.  If on the other hand you don't want to turn them off, then you can deselect the token by clicking on any part of the map. That will make the token actions go away. 

Longtide, could you also clarify which menu is the problematic one? The flyout menus from the tool bar, or the token actions bar?

Hi!  Thanks for your reply!  It's both!  I'm using Chrome, and I do have a lot of scripts enabled (Hasn't been an issue before just last 4-6 weeks?)  I think if I had to guess, it's from powercards? But I'm a copy paster and rely on you genius programmers for the script treats I use here! 

The first time I click on the map, it does make it go away, but If I want to manually switch layers with my mouse (my short cut keys are different and are linked to my voicemod) I'm still left with the same problem.  It's just annoying when I'm building, but when I'm dm'ing in game I keep fumbling and stalling on it. Perhaps clicking off all macros and then re-enabling them?  lol before I do, anyone try that before?  I'm about 5 games away from ending a two year campaign here lol *nervous laughter* Gauss said: Longtide said: Hello all, first time poster, longtime pro subscriber here.

Longtide, could you send me an invite? I'd like to take a look at your macro setup and see if I can make some suggestions.  For example, I see you have multiple levels of spells as buttons, perhaps you can condense them down to fewer buttons. I can take a look at your spell macros and see if there is an easy way to shrink them down.  Looking at my own setup, if you have only a single row of token actions they still get in the way, but only barely. The map layer selection is only half obscured and thus still selectable.  Alternately, some of your buttons, the ones that do not use "selected" in the macros, could be moved to the bottom bar instead of as token actions. Would need to see which macros meet that criteria.

Just to be clear, I rely on the flyout menu to change layers a lot and if I select anything else, I cant select a layer on the flyout because the macro bar up top is in the way for both selecting the menu and or a character / npc sheet.  All sheets I open up, popup behind the bar uptop. If I'm on the map layer and I select a background piece, the above macros pop up too.  Also, it's the same on all three games I run and again just recently in the last 4-6 weeks?

Hopefully when the Devs get done smashing the bugs the latest round of updates caused they will get to reorganizing the z-layer back to how folks are accustomed to having it.  Personally, I would suggest sending in a bug report via the help center. Detail the before vs after and how it impacts you. Include screenshots if possible. And probably a link to this forum thread.  In the meantime, your two options appear to be to reduce the token action bar to a single line, or to deselect the token(s) before trying to switch layers. 

Welcome to Roll20!!! I assume that'show Roll20 wants it. Allot of users have been complaining about those changes made over a month and ago. Everything on the UI showing on top of sheets/handouts: Token actions, zoom slider, Avatar, macro bar at the bottom... Not only there isn't an ETA to fix it, but Roll20 has yet acknowledged there was an issue yet -.-

Thanks for your time everyone!  I'm still tinkering with things and I'll update if I find anything.  I've sunk too much into this R20 marketplace to just give up!  Cheers! 

I'm having the same problems.

I am also having the same issue and this was reported a while ago.  Roll 20 are exceptionally slow at addressing bugs

You can fix this with a stylus style: #floatingtoolbar{     z-index:20000; } But I have only done the barest of testing. it might easily break other behaviors. Explanation in the top post of any of these threads: Show Off Your Style Show Off Your Style 2: The Stylening! Show off your Style 3: Third Time is the Charm!

Hmm. Also has the benefit of placing all the sub menus above the turn tracker. Which I found much more annoying.
