Selecting a token restricts the DMS view to that of the token

[sanguisaevum]

I feel as though either an option has changed that I do not know about, or I am doing something wrong following a change, because this behaviour is new, it did not used to work like this.

Scenario

I, as GM select a token (player or NPC) to begin moving it.

My, the GM's, view of the map is IMMEDIATLY set based on LOS. IE, the map is occluded by LOS walls based on the tokens position etc, so I can no longer see the location i want to move the token to.
If i unselect the token, the view of the map is normal again.

This behaviour NEVER applied to NPC tokens before, i could always see all of the map even when selecting my NPC tokens.

This behaviour DID apply to Player tokens, but could be toggled on/off by using the "Player vision Preview" toggle

Now that toggle has no effect.

Screenshot 1 - player preview is OFF No tokens selected - i can see all the map - This is excepted behaviour
Screenshot 2 - player preview is OFF PC token selected - i can see only what the PC sees - This is NOT excepted behaviour (Player preview is off, i should be able to see the whole map still even with the token selected)
Screenshot 3 - player preview is OFF NPC token selected - i can see only what the NPC sees - This is NOT excepted behaviour (regardless of player preview, I should be able to see the whole map still even with the token selected)

EDIT! - I have done some testing, and this issue does not appear to happen on other maps.
After investigation, I discovered that it appears to be just this map (MAP - 18 - 8 - Gugs Labyrinth)
Additionally, if I delete SFX layer 'Ocean' the the issue disappears and the map behaves normally.

I do not know if this is a bug, or if I have done something wrong when creating the fx layer.

EDIT2 - Further testing.
I created a new map, and some basic LOS on it. Selecting a token on that map behaves normally, IE, I can see the whole map when a token is selected, regardless of LOS.
Adding ANY fx layer to that map CHANGES this behaviour, so that my view of the map is restricted to the tokens while it is selected. This has to be a bug... adding an fx layer should not affect how token selected and LOS works.

Just set your map not to have players view. Its an option both at top of map (if you show options there also a button) or under the lock map.

Yes, I can replicate this and I agree that it's not working as expected. There was an issue with certain fx layers which was fixed a couple of patches ago; but it seems that something in the latest update has caused the issue to come back.

The issue is that adding an fx layer restricts the DM's view of the map to just what that token sees regardless of what the player preview toggle is set to.

Thanks for verifying. I'll take a look and see if we can get a fix.

@pindercarl just provided me with a fix that I included in a hot fix to the application client this morning.

Please run a new Check for Updates to get the latest version.
