Description
In QGIS 2, the label expressions are kept in the project after deactivation and can be easily brought back by selecting the "Show labels for this layer option".
In Master (2.99), selecting the "No labels" option drops them completely and they cannot be recovered from the project.
Steps to reproduce:
- add label expression
- select "No labels" option (they are discarded)
- selecting the "Show labels for this layer option" doesn't bring them back
-
Associated revisions
Add separate bool for controlling whether vector layer labels
are enabled
Instead of clearing the labeling configuration in order to
disable labels, we need a way to disable them without
losing the configuration. Labels are oftern temporarily
switched on/off as an analysis tool, and we don't want the
settings to be lost as a result
