Players can see bars visible bars outside field of vision

I never had this problem. We have the same setup, even being playing the same game for 2 months now (Dungeon of the Mad Mage) But tuesday (our weekly game), we had LOADS of problems and i didn't change anything on my end. Basically players can see any visible bar on the map. And i like to have most of the monsters with visible HP bars (but they can't see the numbers) This always worked perfectly, until yesterday!! Help me please! I put a player character on the next dungeon level (Sargauth) and Control L his token to get his vision, look at the bars all around the map!! Every player and me, has this same problem!

Hi Game Master,  In order to keep all this in one location, please see this thread . I would also file a bug report via the Help Center so that the issue can be prioritized properly.  With that said, the Devs are aware of this issue and are taking a look at it, the bug report via the Help Center will help prioritize the fix. 
Some of my players are also having this issue but not all of them even though they are all in the same game this only happened today & on a map that they have been on for the last few weeks. It's part of the Icewind Dale module if that helps
Hello Gauss! Isn't here the correct place? Since this is an obvious bug that needs to be fixed! Here its easier for people with the same problem to find the Topic! But ty, i will submit it on the Help Center!

Game Master,  This is for community help, not to notify Roll20. In years past this used to be for contacting Roll20 but when Roll20 grew too large they instituted the Help Center to better keep track of bugs. Since then this has become community help.  With that said, the Devs inform me the bug is fixed, please check to see if it is fixed for you. If it is not please perform a hard refresh. 
I appreciate the help! I performed a Hard reset, but something wrong is still not right! Same place as before:

Game Master, in your latest screenshot you are not viewing from the player's point of view. You are using Preview, which is your (GM) point of view from that token's perspective.  To verify what the player sees please switch to a dummy account (best method) or switch to player mode (less ideal, may still contain GM level information depending on how you have things set up). 
Hi Gauss, These are screen shots from my game where I have logged in as GM in the first picture and as a player with my dummy account (no GM privileges) on the other picture. The characters named "JD NV" is  controllable by the dummy account. You can see how the "JD NV" token's nameplate and health bar are still visible outside the map in the player's view, and as a player I can still select the token that is outside the map grid by aiming my cursor between the token's bar and nameplate.

Hi Rick A.,  The outside of map issue is a separate issue that the Devs are aware of. I will double check with them, but I am pretty sure that the bug that was fixed yesterday is only for the inside the map bug.  Edit: Wait, just double checking here.... the "JD NV" token is controlled by the dummy account? then the nameplate should be showing iirc. What happens if they do not control the token?
Thanks Gauss. Players being able to move their tokens outside the grid area has already caused me some troubles until I learned to border the map with a DL barrier and turn on " Lines Block Movement", which is irksome for many of my outdoor maps.

Rick, apparently I was editing while you were posting. Could you respond to the edit?

I just checked this: I moved both and NPC token and another player's token outside the grid area, and they were NOT visible to the "JD NV" token . This is good! It's still an issue that a player can move their token outside the grid area though. That areas should only be usable by the GM.
