[5.0+] Text Overlay Setting

As of 8ba44fe799 the Text Overlay when in Toggle Fullscreen Area is no longer visible. I understand the change was made to fix another issue, but for users like me who tend to switch to Toggle Fullscreen Area and just do a quick viewport render, I relied on the Text Overlay still being visible to check if my render is doing well.


  • Q: "Why not just leave Toggle Fullscreen Area and check ?"
  • A: Sadly that doesn't work as it resets the ongoing render so if I want to check the samples amount it starts over.

  • Q: "What do you suggest then ?"
  • A: Add a setting in Preferences -> Interface or inside the Viewport Settings to force the Text Overlay no matter what.
