Few problems with marks/auras/nameplates

I was having some issues last night with my campaign, some were pretty annoying for sure, but nothing too game breaking. I just wanted to post here as maybe my issue was not something that was the norm, and maybe something can be done about it. First issue: When I add marks to tokens, the marks do not show on the token until I move the token on the map. If I add a red mark for bloodied, the red mark does not show until I move the token to another grid space, then move him back. Second Issue: Aura's Disappearing on me in game. When I click a token with an aura, many times that aura will disappear, forcing me to move the token, then move the token back to it's original position to make the aura visible. Third issue: Disappearing Nameplates. Same as above, nameplates disappear in game and force me to move the token to another grid space to make the name plate viewable again. This does not seem to be an issue on the players end. Marks are visible to them, but not to me, the DM. I am running  Google Chrome Version  26.0.1410.43 m.  OS: Windows 7

Does this occur in any other campaigns you have? Were the tokens recently on the GM layer?  - Gauss
It has been an ongoing issue for a while, I always chalked it up to lag. As far as were they recently on the GM layer, it's hard to tell, I yes they were, but the issue did happen after I had moved those tokens to the GM layer in the middle of combat. The aura in particular would disappear any time I would click the token to add a mark or adjust it's HP, but like I said, the issue was only on my end, my players have always been able to see my marks, it's almost like a lag of some sort. I have been trying to recreate the issue without players in my campaign, but it seems that when my campaign is empty, I have no issues whatsoever like I did in game last night.
Actually with testing, the problem was recreated by sending a token to the GM layer then sending it back to the token layer. It is intermittent though, and doesn't seem to happen all the time.

Ok, this issue used to be a problem but it hasn't really cropped up in awhile. Before I file a bug report I would like to get some further information. Could you go to:&nbsp; <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> and give us all the details except for IP address? Is there any step by step details you can give where the problem manifests more regularly?&nbsp; Finally, could you send me a PM with the join link? I would like to see if I can recreate it in your campaign. - Gauss
