Reveal Areas Missing

    Recently (meaning the past few months) a bug has cropped up where the eye shaped fog of war option in the menu at the top left are replaced with a small blank space that does not respond to being clicked on. For some reason, it looks like it is flagged as  a 'hidden' legacy item. I believe this is an error, since manual fog of war does not seem to be implemented in the new dynamic lighting system yet, meaning that the 'legacy' option is actually the only way to manually reveal areas. GMs can work around it by double-tapping the 'R' key, which selects the 'reveal' tool and causes the icon to be displayed. Until a method is available for converting to the newer options though, I think this flag needs to be switched back off.

Are you on a supported browser that is not running any extensions? I haven't seen this reported before, nor experienced it for myself.
Sounds like it may be the Avast web security extension? See here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9033540/gm-toolbar-fog-of-war-issue" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9033540/gm-toolbar-fog-of-war-issue</a>

Oh good. I even posted on that thread only three weeks ago. Don't get old, kids. You'll develop a mind like a steel... sieve.
Belated reply, but I appreciate the help. I wasn't really expecting to get a solution, so that was a pleasant surprise. It's a short thread so I'll just keep my initial post as it is, and maybe my hotkey fix will help others who have similar problems until they get help.
