Research direction
Investigate the rendering logic for MIDI clips in the GUI. Look for files related to clip display, likely in src/gui/clips or similar. Check how clip names are drawn and ensure they appear even when the clip is empty (no notes). The video shows the issue; reproduce it and find the condition that suppresses the name.
