&{tracker} does not add to the tracker often

Problem: I often have the &{tracker} not adding the creature to the tracker. It seems to happen when multiple players roll at the exact same time. I'd say for every 10 encounters we roll we have at least 1 person not added to the tracker in maybe 3-5 encounters. Steps to Reproduce: Have multiple people try to add themselves to the tracker at the same time. For example you can use the 5e sheet. However I remember this happening in my old pathfinder groups as well with just the plain text macro and not a sheet based macro. System: I use Chrome 42. Other players use other browsers, but it does not seem to consistently be one player - it's seemingly a random collision.

Next time this happens, Mark. Can you have the player(s) whose initiative doesn't make it to the tracker check their console log for an error. It would help us track down what's exactly happening since we're not able to replicate this behavior ourselves.

For reference, i've experienced this. If it happens again before this is resolved i'll post their log too for you. From layman assessment it seems to occur when 2 players run their initiative at the same time and it simply ignores one of them in the tracker while recording their result in the chat (not technical i know, sorry...)

Update: I had 2/4 players not added to the initiative last night. No console errors.

This is the 5th edition shaped sheet, rolling for initiative with 4 players within a second? Are you able to reproduce the issue?

We are currently using that sheet, yes - though it happened with the default 5e before and I believe without a sheet at all. I cannot reproduce it by myself as it necessitates multiple parties clicking initiative at the same time, but it happens quite regularly in my sessions.

Butting in again, but for reference, the method is exactly the same for when this affects my players also (we use the 3.5 sheet so it seems like it isn't sheet dependant).

This should be fixed now. Let us know if you come across this issue again.

Great! Thanks!
Still happening. Seems to be particularly tempermental when attempting to parse a line with an in-line roll followed by &{tracker}. For example, the following worked for a while, but following the "multiple clicks" error, stopped working completely. /em @{selected|character_name} rolls his initiative (+@{selected|Initiative}) [[1d20+@{selected|Initiative}]] &{tracker}

Jake is correct. I have not had it happen since it was fixed.
