Dynamic Lightning weird behavior being a GM

Hi ! I encountered a weird bug regarding dynamic lightning today. I had the same line of sight as if I was a player. GM opacity was at maximum. Played with the GM opacity and the bug disappeared. I was unable to reproduce the bug, though.

If you select a token and press Control/Command-L, it will show the GM the view of that token. Could that be how you got it into that mode?

I read this a bit ago, but didn't quite understand what you were saying the bug was. after rereading, I think this is your issue (assuming it wasn't ctrl-L): If you had the GM opacity at max, then you would have only had player vision as the stuff that was hidden would have been behind a solid black screen. The GM opacity controls the transparency of the darkening effect that denotes what is player visible and what is hidden. At 0% the transparency is 100% (aka totally clear and colorless). At max or 100%, the transparency is 0%.

well, no and no guys :)  Gold : I did not use that control. Moreover, if I used this command, setting the opacity should not have instantly change the behavior (I did not have to completely move the cursor : as soon as I touched the cursor, the view changed). Scott C : When I put back the cursor to the max, the view did not revert to token view. And as I said before, the view changed as soon as I touched the GM opacity cursor, not after moving it toward 0% :). Anyway, I'll do more test based on what you suggested. Thx :) Edit : Made some quick tests : I confirm the behavior I spoke about in my messages. It was, indeed as if I used the Ctrl-L command. However, I did not and toggling the GM opacity reverted the view back to GM mode as if I used the Ctrl-M command... :) Edit : well.. Though Ctrl-M allowed to revert token view back to GM view but realized it does not. How can I revert token view back to GM view ? Edit : Ok. I am an idiot. You were right, guys. Mistook opacity for GM opacity.. Several tests later, I found that GM opacity can be tricky if you don't know what you're doing alongside with dynamic lightning.  Thx for the help ! :)
