Description

I am not sure if it did previously, but at least 0.16.2 on OS X doesn't include labels.

I find it slightly strange to include object outline but not text labels (note that we can hide the object layer so this is not a big deal).

This is just for convenience, so that we can quickly share map preview across the team.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing Export As Image on OS X with a map containing object names, then trace the export entry point and compare the output with the visible object outlines. Done means exported previews include the object labels while retaining the existing outlines.
