Description

Describe the bug
"WaypointsShowName=1" listed in opencpn.ini
Right-Click on route and select "Show Waypoint Names". Names are shown.
Close OpenCPN
Restart OpenCPN
Waypoint Names are not shown.

Expected behaviour is that the waypoint names are shown as requested in opencpn.ini.

To Reproduce
See above

Expected behavior
"WaypointsShowName=1" should mean that the names are shown when OpenCPN is restarted. The Right-Click on route can then be used to "Hide Waypoint Names" if required.

Screenshots
