Characters can see tokens/mobs after they are out of line of sight

Hey there. I am having a problem with fog of war where the players can see what revealed tokens "see" after they have explored an area. I have not experienced this before, and I am hoping this is just me "derping" with my settings. This is what the players see before they move away: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/VMfaqrm.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/VMfaqrm.jpg</a> And this is what they see afterwards, even though they have walked away from line of sight: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/hz1NA9P.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/hz1NA9P.jpg</a> These are my page settings: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/uQjwwkp.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/uQjwwkp.jpg</a> And these are my player token settings: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/fVKXOSF.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/fVKXOSF.jpg</a> What am I doing wrong here? Or is this a known bug that I cant find in the forums? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Ken, When you are viewing the tokens "seen areas" are you using the Ctrl+L keybind? From the image provided it almost seems that the NPCs are emitting light as well and as a GM you are able to still see this. That said, there are some known issues with AFoW where a GM's AFoW information will still show causing confusion but the players view is what one would expect even when using Ctrl+L. If you want to be 100% sure that your players are not seeing things they shouldn't I would recommend adding in a quick test account and viewing things through that lens.

Are you testing this with Ctrl-L? If so, that is currently bugged and getting high attention--it shows the GM sight for all tokens, regardless of controller. Testing with "Rejoin as Player" might provide better results, after ensuring the proper tokens have you listed as a controller.
The screenshots I have taken are from testing with the "Rejoin as Player" feature. I have also tried joining with the players account. Same bug every time.

The tokens are not set to emit light. They are dragged straight out of my gallery, or from the compendium. Here are the tokens settings: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/NfQFLMY.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/NfQFLMY.jpg</a> I have never used the Ctrl+L keybinding. I Just drag the characters around as normal. The bug is the same when I join as a player, or log in with a player account.
