Tokens occasionally see beyond lighting borders when being dragged

Greetings, all! The issue I am experiencing is that occasionally when players are dragging their tokens on a map with defined dynamic lighting barriers, they suddenly "see" out to their field of vision the entire map beyond the light borders for a moment during the movement. With Explorer Mode on, Roll20 will then "remember" a snapshot of what they have seen (unrevealed/unexplored rooms, the inside of walls, etc) for them. The only solution I can find is to toggle Update When Token Drop to be On, which fixes the issue. While this isn't a major problem, it eliminates the fun of the player experience of seeing their field of vision change in real time as they move their tokens. Settings : map with Dynamic Lighting enabled barriers fully drawn on Dynamic Lighting layer Explorer Mode On Update When Token Drop Off Dynamic Lighting Barriers Restrict Movement On

My suggestion, turn on Update when token drop.  To resolve the 'seeing vision change in real time' have your players move the token one space at a time using arrow keys.

It's better performance-wise in any case.
