Z-Sorting Problems

All HUD UI elements and Text are drawn with transparency, which means they are all in the Transparent RenderQueue. They get depth-sorted against eachother based on their center-points.

In VR this means that text at angles will disappear behind background panels. This is annoying. So, you can optionally stick Text in a separate RenderQueue by calling SceneGraphConfig.ConfigureForVR(), or setting SceneGraphConfig.TextRenderQueue to a value larger than 3000 (that is the Transparent render queue). However, if you do this, All Text will be drawn on top of everything else in the scene (except the cursor). There is no way to avoid this, that I can see...
