Overlay not always displaying

[JugglerBri]

Describe the bug
I've noticed a few times now that the overlay feature was not displaying any information at all. I even restarted my entire computer and it didn't help. I switched to a different world, switched back, and still, no overlay (even though the other world had an overlay). I then switched to a different scene in the problematic world and the overlay was working there, switched back, and the overlay was working.

To Reproduce
I'm not exactly what the steps are to reproduce the error. I've just noticed it happen a couple times now. If I can find some common theme when it happens, I'll make sure to update this (or comment or make a new post or whatever - I'm new to github).

Expected behavior
Pretty straight forward, the overlay should display as intended. Not much to add to this section, sorry.

Module incompatibilities
Next time it happens, I'll try to deactivate the other modules I'm running. The current list of modules I'm running are:

• Dice Tray
• Dice So Nice!
• Magic Items
• Shared Data (custom one I create based on THESE instructions)
• Token Mold
• VTTA DnD Beyond Integration
• VTTA Iconizer
• VTTA Tokenizer

Screenshots/GIFs/Videos
A picture wouldn't really add anything, the overlay just doesn't display

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser: Chrome (but happens in the native client too)
• FVTT Version 0.6.6
• Module version 2.7.1

Additional context
Nothing to add but thanks for this, it was exactly what I was looking for!

I can confirm this bug, it has been happening to me too.

this happens to me constantly, normally at the start of a session. It can take up to 5 or 6 refreshes of Foundry to get the display to appear.

Hmm.. i thought i fixed this last big patch
i currently can't reproduce that beheviour at all, sadly and have no real clue why its happening. (Although i think i observed that on my game server as well, but can't reproduce it at all on my dev server. Maybe its because i'm currently on FVTT 0.7.2? 🤔 that would mean it would fix itself soon(tm) )

Please everyone do report back if you notice some behaviour that could be causing this!

Please take a look at #71 and leave your thoughts on the topic there, since this may resolve your issue.

Is there a fix for this issue? I'm on Foundry 8.9, and it's still randomly showing/not showing the overlay. . Is there a module it might be fighting with?

I noticed that the Overlay option always turns itself off when you close the settings dialog. Maybe that's what's happening without people realizing it. The repro steps are:

• Turn Overlay option on
• Open settings dialog
• Close settings dialog
• Notice that the Overlay option is now turned off
