KMAPS display during game play ?

First and foremost, thank you so much for all the work that has been put into L1Chess Tools. It is an amazing set of utilities. Secondly, my apologies if I am missing something obvious or if my question has been raised before.

I played a classical game yesterday and as I began the game the KMAPS diagram was displayed. To remove what is clearly an unfair advantage over my opponent I had to disable Lichess Tools and refresh the browser window for the game. Shouldn't these useful analysis tools be turned off by default during game play ?

Thanks,

David

If that happens, it's a regression. Thanks for telling me.

@datasmith , I can't reproduce it. Can you give me some consistent reproducible steps?
Also, what browser and operating system and LiChess Tools version do you have?

Sorry for the delayed response.

Clean reboot of the machine and of Chrome

Whether I receive or make a challenge the KMAPS diagram shows up as soon as the game begins. That is as much as I can offer in terms of reproducible steps.

Try to click it. The worst case scenario, disable k-maps. I can't explain it. If the body of the page has the playing CSS class, K-MAPS does nothing. I can't reproduce it and I can't figure out how it might be possible.

Maybe contact me privately so you can give me your exact preferences.
