Lifeline name does not appear when it is scrolled out of view

Product & Version

Description
When you scroll sequence diagram or activity diagram, it should show the names of the lifelines/partitions at the top of the diagram when they are scrolled out of view, however it will stop showing after a particular operation (still not found out yet).
