Hidden Attack Names

Silly, question on one of the games I'm in hides the name of the attacks as per the below When you move the mouse over it show's the name.  I presume it's a setting somewhere, but can't figure out where.. can anyone say what it is?
This looks like custom css on the rname row, is it just this attack, or all attacks? Is there extra stuff in the attack description field, if you go to edit the attack? EDIT: Could you also post the chat output of the attack? Copy it by pressing up in the chat after sending the attack to chat, and copying the text in the chat.
It's all attacks from all players.  The damage output is fine as are other non attack rolls. Damage shows like How do you get the up thing to work (sounds stupid) I've seen it mentioned before, but am missing something

Hi Jonathan K.,  You mentioned other player's rolls are also doing this. Are they seeing it, or is it that you see it from their rolls?  Does this happen in other games?  Does this happen in other browsers? (Which browser are you using?)
Jonathan K. said: How do you get the up thing to work (sounds stupid) I've seen it mentioned before, but am missing something The up arrow on your keyboard, when pressed with the chat input field active, brings the previously sent message into the input field. Then select all that text and copy it. You mentioned this is only a problem in one of the games you are in, correct? Do those other games use the same character sheet? If not, do you have browser extensions that might be interfering with the buttons of this specific one?
Hmm, is this output what you mean? <a href="~-O6XfVFcW8quDaUCm08l|repeating_attack_-O6XtWNgQLMu5E4B6QQB_attack_dmg">Silvered Battleaxe (One-Handed)</a> I currently run two games and play in two.  It doesn't happen on any of the other games.  The two games I play in are run by other GM's on their own accounts, so I presume it must be something specific to the game settings on the one it is happening in.  everyone's browser etc remains the same.  I'll ask the GM what sheet he is using.

It is not a (standard) sheet setting thing. I have a few ideas of what it might be, but I need you to work with me to narrow it down. First, switch to dark mode. You can do it by clicking the slider button in the settings tab of the sidebar, here: Then check how the attack template looks. Take a screenshot of it and post it here. Then, hover over the attack name/button. Does the color change from black as you hover over it? Next, let's go over copying the template macro. First, use the attack, I am assuming you are using it from the sheet, but either way, use it, and don't roll damage. Click in the chat input box, as if you were about to write a chat message: Then, without clicking anything else, press the up arrow on your keyboard.   You should see a lot of stuff appear in the box, like so: without clicking anywhere else first (click back to the box if you did click other stuff in the meantime, and press ctrl+a , then ctrl+c . Then, post the copied macro here. Next, what browser do you use? Do you have browser extensions active? Ask your DM how he feels about purple buttons.

So in Dark Mode it shows the attack name by default: When it's non dark mode, the it's in black as shown, when you move the mouse over the box goes red and the text white The attack Macro is: @{Brick|wtype}&{template:atk} {{mod=+8}} {{rname=[Silvered Battleaxe (One-Handed)](~-O6XfVFcW8quDaUCm08l|repeating_attack_-O6XtWNgQLMu5E4B6QQB_attack_dmg)}} {{rnamec=[Silvered Battleaxe (One-Handed)](~-O6XfVFcW8quDaUCm08l|repeating_attack_-O6XtWNgQLMu5E4B6QQB_attack_crit)}} {{r1=[[@{Brick|d20}cs>20 + 5[STR] + 3[PROF]]]}} @{Brick|rtype}cs>20 + 5[STR] + 3[PROF]]]}} {{range=}} {{desc=}} {{spelllevel=}} {{innate=}} {{globalattack=@{Brick|global_attack_mod}}} ammo= @{Brick|charname_output} That attack is a standard Battleaxe dragged from the compendium, it's just the name changed as it's a silvered weapon. For reference, it's the Ice Spire Peak Module and I doubt that the GM will have changed much. My Browser is Chrome, no extensions that I know, but it works fine in other games.. What do you mean by purple buttons?
Hmm, very odd, that rules out several of the ideas I had. My thought was the DM might have altered the CSS of the damage button (which also serves as the attack name) to not be purple in dark mode, which would inadvertently have made the button in light mode black on black - but seeing how it works in dark mode and the hover-over works, that is not the case. There's nothing unusual with the attack macro, either. And if you're using Chrome with no extensions, there shouldn't be anything there to interfere either. And I don't think your GM is running a custom version of an old public source code for the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet just to make the background of the buttons black. So, I'm out of ideas of what could be causing this - I suggest you send in a ticket to the help center. They might be able to help you more.
