Tokens not visible on the turn tracker? - NOT DM layer

Hi everyone, I am currently having a problem that I can't really find a solution to. Regarding the Turn Tracker: When my DM wants us to roll for the initiative he opens the Turn tracker and asks for our rolls. At that point no Token is placed in the Tracker yet, its empty. I use a macro that works just fine and it creates the entry on the tracker. I see my token + number. But somehow there is a difference as to who else I can see on the tracker. All the tokens are visible on the field and everyone can control his token just fine. So it's not the DM layer. Everyone rolls his initiative, some use macros, others use the character sheet or they roll manually. The strange thing is that THEY tell me that they can see their own token on the tracker but not all others. Same for me. The other players tell me that THEIR token is already on the tracker, but I can't see it there. Names are not visible on the tokens, but that shouldn't have any influence on the visibility of the token on the tracker. This stays like this until the DM removes the tokens and manually inserts each token again. It's always a bit messy, so it's hard to tell who can see whom and what goes on. Any idea what could cause this or how to fix this?

Tokens that are in the TurnOrder but on a different page will not show up to players.  Probably your DM has some stale tokens from prior pages on there.  If you or the DM hovers a token on the turn order, it will highlight that token on the map with a yellow box. If you (or they) don't see that yellow box around the token they expect to see it on, then the token is likely on a different page.

Also (don't know if this is part of the equation), but tokens whose name plates are hidden from players (might be visible to the GM) do not appear on the tracker in the player view. The entry is there, but the name and token do not display.

It seems to be the most likely solution. To be sure I might also switch the names to be visible. Just to rule that out. The odd thing is that the Turn tracker is usually empty before we roll. So using a macro should just put the selected token from the field in there, shouldn't it? Not sure how a stale token could get in there? Or can this be caused by a macro? Initiative [[1d20+ @{Mink|dex-mod} &{tracker} ]] This is what I am currently using as my ini-macro. I don't like what the Ini button on the char sheet does with the 1.X numbers so I wrote this one.
