Static RGBMatrix+Text not consistent

Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

So one of my students got the brilliant idea to use RGBMatrix + Text to label our "8x64 matrix steps" on the stage for startup so they can make sure they get them in the right place, however, the text doesn't show up on the fixture consistently. We created a simple file, with a matrix, and an RGBMatrix with Text set with timing to infinite Hold. and tho you can always see the text in the DMX View, but for the fixture sometimes it's there.. sometimes it's not. I *think* it's because the scroller is doing a "paint position", "blank", "paint new position" .. etc. And so for a single step I randomly get the "blank". Has anyone else hit this and/or come up with a way to force the text to stay? I am considering a patch to QLC+ itself ( as text is in C++ vs javascript ) for a 'Static' animation if no one has a solution. Example file in line, thoughts appreciated.

There is indeed an issue when step hold time is infinite.
I need to investigate what that is
