Fog of War Error

I had an odd moment where my only player could see things that were hidden by fog of war. The tokens were technically on the token layer, but they were within fog of war "hidden." I fixed the token visibility problem by just switching the tokens over to GM layer, but the map is still revealed to the player. I've rejoined as a player to see if I had the same problem, but the fog of war is working perfectly when I rejoin as a player. I'll have the player rejoin to see if that fixes the problem, but I thought I may as well post this bug.
Thanks for letting us know. If the player is still having this issue, we need to get their info in terms of OS/Browser and also a Console Log to see if there are any errors.
Apparently he's never had anything invisible due to fog of war. His OS is Windows 7 and he uses Chrome as his browser. This might be a dumb question, but how do I send a Console Log?
Is he listed as a player or could he have been bumped up to GM status?
I checked to see if I could change the permissions of the player and found that he's still only a player; not upgraded to GM status.
I am having the same issue as a player. I am running Vista and Chrome. I verified that I have the latest version of Chrome and Java. I can see the map, but not the GM layer. Additionally this is causing my computer to run very slowly. Fog of War was working perfectly less than a week ago when I changed to player view in my own campaign.
Fog of War seems to be causing me problems too.  When I run the tabletop in Firefox I can't move off the Fog of War icon.  I can reveal or hide things but not move any tokens.  When I load the map in Chrome I can't reveal or hide anything and while I can highlight tokens to move them, the lag is so bad that that all I get is the little circle flash and they usually don't go anywhere.  I've only just started using the tabletop, so please excuse me if I'm being a bit thick...  Just logged back into the campaign and the tokens moved fine in Firefox right up until I clicked on Fog of War to reveal more of the dungeon.  It seems that once highlighted, I can't unhighlight Fog of War so it blocks me from moving any more tokens.  Simple answer is to unhighlight everything and play without the Fog but if there is a fix let me know! :)

Paul, are you clicking on the submit/move tool before trying to move your token? Are you able to select any of the other tools?  - Gauss
I don't seem able to select any other icons in Firefox after I've selected the fog of war.
Paul can you go to&nbsp;<a href="http://supportdetails.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supportdetails.com/</a> and post the details from that page?
I'm on a pretty basic system.&nbsp; I'll try playing today without the fog I think. Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 Web Browser Firefox 18.0 Browser Size 1280 x 885 Color Depth24 bit Javascript Enabled Flash Version11.5.502 Cookies Enabled
Could you give it a try in Chrome just to see if it behaves any differently? Thanks
Well I tried today and it worked fine in Firefox.&nbsp; The only thing I did differently was disable my spybot search and destroy as I know this can sometimes slow my PC down.&nbsp; I'll see how it works next time I log in.&nbsp; It still runs too slow in Chrome for me to use.&nbsp; I think maybe my PC is too dumb.
