Some critical information is not always displayed when using Pop_OS! - see the images. The WCS / image stack info is being blocked. I have previously seen this behavior when using my laptop (also running Pop_OS!), but I figured it was a screen size issue. Now that I've installed Pop_OS! to my desktop, I'm seeing it again. System info (Pop_OS! is Ubuntu-based):

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Pop
Description: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
$ uname -a
Linux CygnusX1 5.4.0-7634-generic #38~1592497129~20.04~9a1ea2e-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 19 22:43:37 UTC  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Seems likely this is because of some strange setting in Pop_OS! graphics interface, so advice tracking that down would be helpful.

(and although when I took this screenshot AIJ was showing both behaviors, I've reopened these files ~5 times now and each time the WCS info has been hidden. And turning virtual stack on and off does not seem to help)
