Characters dragging duplicates of themselves from the journal tab into prohibited areas possible?

Giving a player control over a character in the journal tab, gives them control over the dragging function as well. To prevent this I need to take away this control and only give them control over a token. But they can't use character sheets like this. Am I mistaken? If this was mentioned before, I apologize.

Any info on this? I researched some more in the forums and found nothing on this topic. The issue exists in all games with dyn.light. enabled, no matter the browser. Everytime the gm hands over the control of a journal entry to a player, that player can drag this specific journal entry (token) onto the map and reveal dyn.light. areas, which are not reachable. notjes said: Giving a player control over a character in the journal tab, gives them control over the dragging function as well.

EDIT: A workaround would be to deactivate the sight option of tokens linked to journal entries of player characters. And enabling them manually if necessary, to prohibit this exploit.

This is inherently a social issue that is best dealt with directly with players by discussing what is and isn't acceptable behavior.  However, if you must attempt to enforce things on Roll20, a few things you can do: You can use Fog of War to mask the areas you don't want players to be able to see yet, then manually remove those sections you want to allow them to move into. You can remove sight from tokens until you explicitly want to permit them to see You can separate the tokens representing characters onto a different character they don't control. Character: controlled by players, default token is a big 🚫or similar that has no sight and doesn't represent the character Character [Token]: not controlled by players, default token represents "Character".  Only the GM can drag these out  

I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to ruin his/her own fun, but I was play testing something and came across this matter. Maybe the devs could add an option to the journal items, which enables and disables the possibility to drop things on the map. (Sorry, I posted erroneously with my playtesting account.)
