Dynamic lighting stops working when token moves.

I've set up a map with walls drawn in the dynamic lighting layer, and when I went to test it I have a problem that I haven't found in other forum posts. I have a player token that I select and then use Ctrl-L to see its POV. This works fine when the token is stationary, and for the first few moves, but after I move the token a few times it stops revealing new areas and its vision seems to switch off. This isn't fixed by toggling either Explorer Mode or Update when Token Drop. The only way I can fix it is by toggling dynamic lighting off and on again, and then resetting the fog of war.
That's probably  this bug. If so - reload the page while you're on the map that you want to be using and/or just don't use Explorer Mode.

You can also check if this behavior is actually happening (Ctrl-L is undependable for this) by using a Dummy Account .

Do you mean reload the page in the browser or switch to a different map and then back? if this issue affects all players, do they all have to reload?

The specific issue I've run into only happens after switching maps.  It doesn't seem to happen if you're playing on the map you loaded into the game on. So, yes.  My current work around for that is to reload the browser page for anyone it happens to after switching maps.
Thanks for the quick answers. It does seem to be a problem with Ctrl-L. The dummy account works perfectly.
