Token Viewing Issue
When a player has control of 2 PCs, and one of the PCs is moved to another map (or deleted) while selected, the second PC is unable to see their token unless it's in a seeable area from the last place the first token was.
This often comes up when players are using a familiar scouting and it dies or needs to be placed on another map.
The only way to get the vison back to the player is for them to close the map and reopen it. (Even double clicking on the token icon on their PC will not do it only centers the map)
I think an easy fix for this would be to make it so when you double click the token icon, that will also select that token on the map giving them vision.

I think your option is a good idea. but with current setup if I am not mistaken; you can go to the token which was moved to a new map and click on them so that they are no long selected and then it should show you all tokens you own. After that you should be able to see and click on the token that was on the old map.

I was looking into this one today; but I was unable to reproduce. (see video) I'm guessing that I'm going to need exact steps to reproduce.

Your video all 3 controlled tokens has LOS to the other tokens. (It doesn't have vision but it does have LOS). Put a wall up around each token and then delete the selected token (on the GM side) and the player can't select a token they control anymore because they can't see them.
When you only missing vision and not LOS, players can see all the tokens (selected or not) however, when you don't have LOS to your other tokens, you (as a player) can't see your other tokens when you have one selected. So when it's deleted, you have nothing to click on and it ends up like you still have vision left where that deleted token was.
So put all 3 controlled tokens in LOS boxes (where they can't see each other with vision OR LOS), then do all the rest of your steps you did.

I just tried that, and I didn't have any issues. (see video)
Are you running any extensions that might be modifying the default ruleset behaviors?

Something is odd with your vision on your tokens as it shouldn't be like this, correct me if I'm wrong.
When you click on a token, it should show vision/los from that token. It should not show you allies or controlled tokens while it's selected (Unless they have LOS and VISION to those allies or tokens of course).
This seems to be where the issue is on why you can't see what we are seeing.
Video of what I'm seeing.

I'll look at your video in a bit; but players should be able to see any tokens that they have "ownership" of independently of which tokens are selected. (which is what you see in my video)
Do you have any extensions that might be modifying the default ruleset behaviors?
Do you have a sample campaign with a specific image and owned tokens where this occurs that you can share?
