Tokens on GM layer vanish near players?

I'm still a little new to this so maybe i'm just missing something but i couldn't find any thing like this in the Forum. I'm using Dynamic Lighting and have a map with the daylight turned off so its dark. I have my PCs on the board and two of them have darkvision. I'm on the GM Layer trying to place some goblin tokens and if i place them outside the lit up area of PC vision I can see the token fine but as soon as it gets within it the token disappears, name, text, picture and everything. If i click on the square the border shows up but that involves clicking around until i find it, and i cant see the bar info that i'm using to show me how well they're hidden. Any suggestions on what i'm doing wrong?
Are you using legacy DL or updated DL? You should also be able to control your GM layer opacity as well as your Darkness opacity both on the page settings. Might try adjusting those see if it helps.
Thanks, I am using the updated DL, when i change the GM layer opacity it affects the text and icons i have but only when out of of the PCs sight radius.

I admit I am having the same issue. It is rather annoying trying to remember where things are because they COMPLETELY vanish from sight when players get in range. I have things like traps and such that I cannot see to activate because they are on the GM layer and two or more players have got in light range. Edit: and to be clear, I am using the updated lighting as well. I have no mods or APIs currently running that would mess with lighting, and I can interact with things so long as I can remember which square they are in to click on them, they just vanish visually
  i cannot say for certain but it sounds like a bug, i would report this in the udl bugs threads.
Good news is I think they fixed the bug because it doesn't seem to be happening after this week's update. 
this is still happening to me --  1. I have the *new* dynamic lighting on, no daylight, explorer mode on. 2. Each player token has "dark" vision to 60' 3. The circle of vision from one player token begins to dim the GM layer stuff (tokens, drawings, etc.) 4. If two or more tokens vision area overlap, the GM layer stuff vanishes until the player tokens/vision circles move off I'm running a few scripts, and using Chrome -- any ideas on if this is a problem with my setup or a roll20 problem? FWIW it's really frustrating trying to troubleshoot anything because so often the answer seems to be something borked with Roll20
PS Happy to post a very detailed breakdown of my Mac, OS, chrome, scripts ETC - but my suspicion is that it's yet another Roll20 bug
Yes this a known issue with Updated Dynamic Lighting.
