Vampire seeing Spirits (w/o the power) [f]

I just brought Castalia back from the shadow realm and she's suddenly seeing spirits on grid, while she's not supposed to - they are clickable, too. She has no access to the necromancer or fadewalker path.

Do you remember where they were?

Outside the Morgue in Wickbridge.

Hmmm yeah that sounds weird. I thought it might be one of the new towns, but that's surprising. I wonder if it has to do with the bug where events were showing up. I'll check it out now.

It's not happening for me, either on text mode or graphical mode. I wonder if this was due to immediately returning from the SR? Can you still see them?

Is this still a bug?

It’s been happening when I bring my girls back, yes. Then after a day or so it falls off and I don’t see them unless they have the power for it.

Some testing information:

The bug is confirmed. I killed McTesty and moved him around in the SR for a bit, then undeaded him and moved him back to the main grid - found a spirit.

However he reverted to being unable to see the spirit when I changed his base path through the bug mod cpanel.

Then I tried manually putting him in the shadow realm to see if that had any effect, but he couldn't see a spirit when I moved him back to the world map.

Made him dead on the world map - no spirit.

Undeaded him on the world map - no spirit.

Killed him again via settings and brought him back through the db, and he could see spirits. Did a cache refresh (ctrl+f5) and it cleared the spirit. So it must just be related to the way the site is caching something - which explains why the spirits disappear after a couple of days.

TL;DR: Looks like it's related to something cached somewhere. <3

My guess would have been that it vanishes when you refresh the page with a regular F5? My best guess is that the variable letting them see spirits is being sent from javascript each move, as the page isn't refreshing properly, so it's assuming they can still see spirits. If that's what it is then it's a simple enough fix, so I'll do that now and see if that stops it.
