HI David, with your experience you are probably aware of what I am about to suggest. If you set the lighttable to display a lot of images you lose the overlay text because the thumbnails become too small. When you reduce the number of images displayed and the thumbnail size is big enough the overlay text returns. I hope your problem is this simple.
