Do you see labels on the scale bar, compass, and clino? And do station names work (Ctrl+N to turn them on)? They're all drawn in the same way as the depth bar text so if the others work it's something that's different there that's causing the issue.
Not sure about the crash - I'll see if I can get Jenny to reproduce it at work.
I've increased the distance you can zoom in to match 1.0.x, and made the scale bar
maximum length the same as it used to be in r3779, so those will be fixed in 1.2.1.
Putting the station details and distance in the status bar was a deliberate decision - it means you don't need the side panel open to see this information, which makes things much more usable on smaller screens, and it also gives more space for the survey tree. So undoing that change doesn't seem great.
In what way do you find it more difficult to see than before?
I've wondered if we could provide this information in a little tooltip-like window which could be shown near where you're measuring which might look better (and then we wouldn't need the status bar at all).
