Token Manipulation Issue in Jumpgate

Looked but didn't see anything in relation to this already up. If you decide to delete my post, please do me the courtesy of letting me know why. ie. already known, or whatever. Currently, you can resize an item but at some point it stops letting you resize items. Is this standard or? I just want to know so I know whether to avoid investing more time and effort into jumpgate if so. Thanks.

Hi loki,  First, posts do not get deleted on the forums unless they are in violation of the rules. Multiple posts on the same topic by different people is not a violation. Ie: "already known" is not against the rules.  This is further reinforced by Roll20's poor search system, so multiple posts on the same topic is bound to happen.  Second, I was not able to reproduce your issue. Could you describe the problem in more detail? Steps to reproduce it? 
Yeah, just wrote that because it said that my initial post had been removed by a moderator or the poster. I didn't remove it so... So I'll drop an item on the VTT, resize it. Copy it, because I plan on putting more of them on the map. I paste the new variant, and at some point (and this is in Chrome) when I want to adjust its boundaries again it just won't let me. I've tried refreshing, deleting that particular asset and pasting a new one, but it still will stop me from resizing the item in question. I tried swapping it from a drawing back to a regular token, and previously it would sometimes let me manipulate it again, and sometimes not. I'll make sure I don't have any extensions potentially behind it, but previously I've never had this issue outside of the jumpgate variant of the interface.

Alright, let me see if I understand.  Step 1: place token on the VTT Step 2: set it to Is Drawing Step 3: resize it Step 4: copy it Step 5: paste Step 6: resize the pasted copy.  Step 7: repeat step 6 until it won't allow you to resize it.  How many times do you need to do step 7?

It's been very haphazard. I thought it was completely gone away when I shifted it from a drawing to not being one, to being one again after I'd resized it as a non-drawing. If you can't reproduce it I'd assume it's got to be an extension that is the cause. I should add that my map isn't 25by25 it's more like 60 by 45 if that might be a factor.

Your best bet in that case is to try running it in an Incognito window or to disable extensions. See if that prevents recurrences. 
Will do that. See if I have the same issues or not. Thanks for your time and effort, I'll let you know soon as I have some results.

Also, make sure that the resizing corner is not overlapping with another graphic. That has sometimes made the handle difficult to grab

Page Settings - Page Details: Width 63, Height 46, Cell Width .5 Where you see red dots I cannot manipulate the image. None of the pull or push points will move when I select or try to select them, I only say try because nothing is moving so not sure if it’s actually selecting them. The yellow dots however, can be manipulated. I can stretch or shrink those points, but if I reorient the area to see if it’s a vertical versus horizontal strangeness, it’s not, it will still only let me manipulate the yellow dotted options, whether I have it flagged as a drawing or not. The corner red dots won’t work, I assume because going in those specific directions, not 'just' up or down, so they fail to function as well. I can alter their relative size still by directly editing the dimensions, but not manually with a mouse. It's also not universal. On that same map, I have other things that I can manipulate as normal without any issue (Thus far.). In addition as an FYI, everytime I edit this post I have to reattached the image because editing the post borks it from functioning correctly. (Maybe it's Chrome?)

I’d definitely try a Private Browsing window in Firefox.  I’m launching all my games in Firefox Private Browsing windows at this point. I use Chrome for almost everything except that, including browsing the forums. 
I can only guess I have too much stuff on the page, it won't even open in Firefox unfortunately. Just sticks Gathering Steam or figuring out the varied size ratios. But the fact that it won't even open in Firefox I assume leans towards their systems just not being able to run the stuff, though I can otherwise still move around on the map and so forth, so I don't quite get it. (In Chrome mind you.)

loki, since this is sounding more like a campaign issue could you PM me an invite to your game so I can take a look? 
I'll confirm that I've seen similar, using chrome. Asset on the map layer, set to Is Drawing, though with the added step of having flipped horiz or vert. Resizing is then borked as described (you might get a single resize action after, but nothing further), but with the added fun of the image flip not being respected -- image will briefly flip back to stock orientation if rotated, then flip again to expected orientation from a DM standpoint. However, the flip status will not be respected for connected players. Toggling off the flip(s) returns the ability to resize as expected. No console errors. Incog mode results in the same behavior. (also, no check marks to indicate flip status on the context menu)
I will also confirm that in my situation I do often swap vertical and horizontal positions for objects, especially vehicles, because otherwise the lighting effect (insofar as I know) points behind the vehicle token. But I'd say you hit the nail on the head. 
In addition, if the vertical or horizontal are altered, even if you lock the image in that state, when your page loads they tend to be in their original state instead of as you'd altered them to be. So I'd assume the culprit is hidden in those areas.
