Advanced fog of war not being revealed for tokens which do not emit light (despite being able to see due to other light sources)

We're using Advanced Fog of War and Dynamic Lighting.  We also have Enforce Line of Sight enabled so that players do not share vision.  The situation we're experiencing is as follows:  If a player controlled token emits light, then that token's vision reveals the advanced fog of war as expected.  However, for player controlled tokens that do not emit light, but can see in a region because of other light sources (e.g. light sources controlled by other players, ambient light emitting tokens on the dynamic lighting layer or map layer, or the global illumination function), then their vision does not reveal the advanced fog of war in that region. Note: Fog of War is not enabled.  All player tokens have "Has Sight" checked.  All light emitting tokens have the "All players see light" option checked.  I have tried both with and without "Dim Light Reveals" enabled. Is this a known bug, or is there a configuration option I can change to get the expected behaviour? By way of example: two player controlled tokens (controlled by different players) are in a dark room.  One token emits light (with the "all players see light" option checked), meaning both players can see the whole room.  When the tokens leave the room, the advanced fog of war was only revealed in that room for the token which was emitting light.
Hi Sam. I'd like to gather some more details before forwarding this to the devs. Can you provide as much of the following as possible? Description of setup Browser + Version Browser Addons/Extensions Operating System Game Info Name of the game Affected maps
Description of setup Google Chrome  Version 72.0.3626.119 (Official Build) (64-bit) Behaviour persists with all addons disabled Windows 10 64-bit Game Info Behaviour exists in all games - I just started a new blank game on with a new blank map and reproduced the same behaviour All maps affected (see above)
Thanks for your report. I suggest you post your feedback in the Animations and AFoW Official Feedback Thread. Any reports to either Animations or Advanced Fog-of-war should go here, since the devs monitor this thread frequently. I will go ahead and close this.
