"Street name" widget remains empty for streets without a name when using the LightRS Map style

[pictuga]

Description

On streets without a name but with a ref, the "Street name" widget is empty. It should show the ref (or int ref) instead.

This is quite a common situation with highways (in France at least)

Steps to reproduce

Drive on a highway without a name but with a ref (and/or int ref)

Example highway:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/155899451

Example location on that highway:
50.3256277,3.4330432

Actual result

Empty widget

Expected result

Display its ref

Such behaviour is documented as such on osmand website https://osmand.net/docs/user/widgets/nav-widgets/#street-name

Example at location above. The Street name widget is just above the route information widget. And empty.

@pictuga Most likely, this is due to the behavior of the F-Droid build (you can see the official build displaying the information in the screenshot).
Please try downloading the official OsmAnd build from the Play Store or the OsmAnd website and try again.

I've the same issue at the below location with the official play store build (installed today), using both roads only and standard map.

50.21563° N, 3.23921° E

(Starting a bit south of it)

@pictuga It seems that you do not have a map installed - road information is taken from the map.

Please delete and reload the map.

If the issue persists, please clarify:

1. The exact name of the map you are using (and other maps that may cause overlap - maps of the region, country, area).
2. Profile and system settings (they will become public) https://osmand.net/docs/user/personal/import-export?_highlight=expo

I've done some tests.

From
50.20423° N, 3.22245° E
To
50.21563° N, 3.23921° E

Maps installed:
Europe > France > Hauts-de-France > Standard map
World overview map (mini)

Clean install otherwise.

Observation: It displays correctly if using the "OsmAnd" map style but remains empty with "LightRS".

Observed when changing the map style before starting the navigation.

When using the LightRS style, street name information is not displayed (Android) and is partially displayed depending on Map mode (iOS).

Did some more testing with other map styles.

Fine with Topo, Desert, Offroad, OSM Carto, Snowmobile, Winter & ski, Touring view, UniRS.

Issue present with LightRS, Marine, Nautical.

(Fwiw these were quick & dirty tests, without a clean install and using fdroid build, but seemingly the result with fdroid or play store is broadly the same concerning this topic)

[pictuga]

Weirdly the situation is better without being in navigation mode, as it shows ref (but no int ref) instead of nothing. Using LightRS.
