Staking Alignments Station/Offset display

So I was out on a site a couple of days ago staking some offsets to an alignment I had created, something I have done many times before. This particular job required setting offsets 112.5' from the center of a small creek. I located the creek, created an alignment, and started the "Alignment Stake-Here" routine. The usual "station/offset" display at the center top of the blue screen was showing nothing but the name of the alignment. I could get no actual station/offset numbers. After a long while of trying various things I punted and talked with Matt Sibole. He saved my day by suggesting adding white boxes for these values, which worked fine (thanks Matt!). Interestingly, at various times during the staking, that particular blue screen display would return, matching the white box values, then abruptly go away again.

I have my white boxes setup the way I like them in Stakeout, and needing the Station and Offset boxes takes away a couple of others that I use when I am just staking to a point (DTT and CTT). I would like to have the blue screen display be dependably back.

Thanks for any insite!
