Fog of war

Hey all I've just found this fantastic site and am going through the learning curve. I seem to be having issues with the ole fog-o-war. There seems to be an issue when I try to either reveal or hide FOW near the edges of my page it works fine when I perform the function away from the edges. I've had a search through the threads but couldn't see any resolution to the glitch.. I've attached a pdf with my pc specs from <a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> Other than that so far i'm loving Roll 20!

Hey SeanGM. We're looking into the issue. I also deleted your system specs, because your IP address was still on it. In the meantime, here's a workaround: If you need to reveal or hide an area that's very close to edge of the tabletop, zoom in and place your cursor very close to the edge of the tabletop. Draw the FoW reveal/hide rectangle starting there. Roll20 isn't registering the drawn rectangle if its boundary moves into the gutter around the tabletop. Due to this, always draw from the outside and work inward. This method should give you the best results until we figure out what's going on.
Hi Kristin C., Since this question is asked often, I suggest adding some related tip to the relevant Help & Docs section.

Axel, I don't think how it's working right now is intentional. Once we fix it so you can drag into the gutter, you won't need the workaround.
Kristin C., I understand your point and you're right. Thanks for the clarification.

Okay, this should be fixed in the next update.
I've had the same problem, one way around it for now, is to increase the size of the map, reveal/hide, then decrease the size.
