I know this request cropped up on a broadcast DX forum but the original poster hasn't mentioned it here so I will. Can the RDS PS display show the characters in their original positions and maybe indicate the 8 character locations so a partial decode can be used to help ID.

To be honest I thought that was the case

Perhaps add a tickbox option to substitute a space for an underscore _ character, as depicted in FMList ? for example, as seen in the FMList entry below in the red glow:
8 1 F 60 @ Virgin Radio Saint-Quentin Noyon / Champ Cornu JN19LN 367 109 fr D s v 60 26 _VIRGIN_ F219
and a missing character replaced by a minus sign, as with RDS Spy.
In the event of a partial PS decode, it might show for example _VI---N_ where the missing characters are replaced with a minus sign.

What do we call this option?

I suggest:
"Display PS Code spaces as underscores"
hover text: "Places underscores in a received PS code where spaces exist, as per the PS codes that appear in the FMList database. Characters not received - where only a partial PS code has been decoded - are indicated with a hyphen (-)"
