I can see things gm places outside the map

I'm not sure if it's a bug but the other players can't see the thigs outside the map and in my own game where I am gm the players can't see beyond the map. I prefer placing things there for easy access so I don't have to slow things down by going between the gm layer and token layer. But in our game I can see the tokens and secrets that our gm places beyond the border. Is this normal?

HI Lola! You should only be able to see things beyond the edge if: A) You have GM powers. If you happen to be the game creator  are sure you logged into the game as a player? B) You have some level of permissions on the items placed outside the edges. Is it only certain tokens you can see? If neither of these is the case, and you can still see those items, some screen shots might be helpful in tracking down the cause.
Last month I sent a help ticket about this behavior (#353215) and received replies saying that they  haven't been able to discern a distinct cause or easy workaround for it yet, but it's been  escalated over to the dev team so they are working on it. I suggest that you also post a help ticket just so that the dev team has a better idea of how many people are being affected.

Hi Lola,  Please go to the My Settings tab, Graphics, and remove the checkmark for Experimental Performance Enhancements.  That should solve the problem.

Well, that does fix that issue, but it then brings back the things that the EPH solved. LOL! For now, I've just gone back to hiding things on the GM layer.

FWIW, this is an issue the devs are aware of.
Thank you guys, will see if that fixes things, if not I'll return with screenshots :D
Re moving Experimental Performance Enhancements worked like a charm! Thanks again guys!

Hi Lola! As of the Nov.4 change log , this was reported as fixed. Could you check again with EPE turned back on and see if it recurs?
