Token placement by players

I dont know if is a bug but my players can place tokens they control into the map. This doesnt bother me except for the fact that in a dynamic lighting map they can place their tokens in hiddens area, ignorin walls and everything. This doesnt happen already but i want to avoid killing the  atmosphere of the moment.

It isn't a bug, it's a feature.  If it is causing you problems, you can remove the tokens from their characters and put them on a proxy character that only you have.  The tokens would still represent the player's characters, but only you could drag them in by dragging in the proxy character.
You can also edit their tokens and turn off "Has Sight" and then re-save the updated token as their default token. This way when they pull their token out to the VTT, they are blind until you turn on Has Sight for them. This may be more work for you, but it will keep things from being spoiled.
My solution to that so far has simply been to have all the player tokens already on the map, so they don't have to drag anything in, they just have to find their token.
