Can assign characters to all but 2 players in game.

I've started a new game.  I am able to successfully assign characters to 3 players.  The other 2 I can put character sheets in their journal but cannot give them permission to edit and control a character.  I've followed the exact same process for all players and their characters.  What gives?

Hi Justin! My first thought would be to double check for repeated names for characters or players. If you have two characters named "Bob", that can cause permissions problems. Also, make sure to avoid control characters in names of characters or players, ex: { } [ ] ( ) @ # $ % ^ & * !

Nope, not the issue.  All players have accepted the invite.  All players have entered the game.  I can assign a character to all five players' journals.  However, when it comes to "can be edited and controlled by" I only get five options: all players, me, and three of the players.

The bottom of the listbox looks like it is getting clipped by the dialog footer. Can you scroll down with the scrollbar on the dialog to see the rest?

Huh.  There's no scrollbar on the side of the drop down box, but if I used the mouse wheel, it does scroll down to show the remaining names.  Not sure why it's doing that but I have a workaround.  Thank you!
