Known Bugs/Limitations ================================================================================ 10.8.0:L1 On single channel products, text- and image-overlays are no longer shown for streams using overview=1. This results in that some ACAPs, like e.g. VMD and ALPS, will no longer have text- and image-overlays on their configuration pages. It also means that text- and image-overlays are not shown on the Image, Privacy Mask, and View Area tabs in the web interface if a view area is created.
