It's the Eyepiece Viewer screen that opens from the Interactive Atlas by clicking Eyepiece View. Not the one of a finder chart.
But the problem is solved. Turns out I was pressing I (upper case i), not l (lower case L) as the difference between the letters in your message was too fine to see on my laptop with a red film and I didn't immediately realize the problem because ... pressing I actually turns off star labels as well (and only star labels, but the object I was looking at only had labeled stars around). So what does "i" do in the Eyepiece Viewer (I couldn't find the info in the Help, I checked the "Using the Eyepiece Viewer" and "Chart Keyboard Shortcuts" help topics) ? It clearly keeps the CPU busy for a few moments, but there's no change in the displayed window.
Thanks again.
