Issues with displaying token bubbles for players (probably noob-fail, maybe a bug?)

I assume that this is something stupidly simple that I'm missing here:

I drop some tokens and set the advanced permissions to 'view' for everything as GM, stick some values into the red/blue/green bubbles just to be sure they're not null value, switch to player mode... and can see no bubbles except on the character token that I have edit permission on as a player. Can't select the tokens, don't see the bubbles on unselected tokens, nothing.

I'm on Chrome, and the site is already whitelisted in adblock/scriptblock in case this is actually a bug and not me being stupid with a new interface.

While I'm on it, as a GM is there a setting somewhere to turn on view permissions by default when dragging a new token onto a map, or make 'player' tokens dragged and dropped off the character sheet always have the same settings, etc? I feel like *click* *drag* *click* *tab switch* *check* *check* *check* times fifteen damned tokens can't possibly be the actual intended way to set that.

Ah, so I'll just have to figure a way to get the bars to represent the general damage amount... somehow.

Thanks for letting me know, I'd have been banging my head against that for several hours.

(The issue being that I'm running spycraft, so there's not a 'hit point total' on most NPCs so much as damage just accumulates until they fail their "don't die" check. I guess I'll just make an arbitrary denominator for the bar display.)
