Hi all,

When I uncheck the `Bottom Left` checkbox in the Data Probe module, only annotations for background and foreground layers are hidden, but the one for the label layer stays.

There must be something wrong in `Modules/Scripted/DataProbe/DataProbeLib/SliceViewAnnotations.py`, but I haven’t been able to spot it.

I’ve tried getting the widget and doing `widget.sliceView().cornerAnnotation().SetText(0, '')` with no luck.

Hi Fernando -

It looks like `if self.bottomLeft:` needs to be added before the block at line 631. Let me know if that fixes it for you and I can make the change.

Hi Steve 👋

Thanks for your answer, that worked.

You’ll need another `if self.bottomLeft:` for Case I, it doesn’t work either.
