Dynamic Lighting: Token with Darkvision can be seen by any creature on the map

I have two monster tokens.  They each have darkvision.  They can be seen by any other token on the map, even those that don't have line of sight to them.  I made sure that the tokens do not shed light.

If you can post screen shots of token settings, and page lighting settings, it would help diagnose. Also verify that you are using LDL or UDL, and tat the other option is off, both on page and token. Another possibility: check permissions on the monsters, making sure the players don't have control over them. Most likely: Make sure you are not testing with Ctrl-L, particularly with UDL. It will show all token vision for the GM (UDL bug). Use a  Dummy Account  to test lighting. It's much more accurate.
All of the settings are correct.  And no character has any permission on the monster tokens. I didn’t check by using a dummy account (and it’s just stupid to actually have to do that, honestly.)  But it’s the only thing I haven’t tried. And I’m going to stand by my guess that the token having night vision is errantly also treating the token as if it is shedding light.  When I removed the night vision from the tokens, the problem went away. keithcurtis said: If you can post screen shots of token settings, and page lighting settings, it would help diagnose.

Well, as long as your problem is solved.
