Hi, I’m new to Defold. While trying to make my game I got something quite strange.
If I add a Text node, the Text showing on top while the root node staying behind.
Please see the clip for more details
Here is my GUI setup
I really don’t understand how the GUI text nodes render.
Is it normal when text nodes always display on the top, leaving box nodes behind?
I attached a testing source hopefully somebody will help me understand this headache…

Are you using the builtin font? That is intended for debugging and has a custom material which renders on top of everything.
Compare this:
To this:
Create a new font and apply a font material, this should resolve the issue.
This is very confusing and there is an issue to improve this:

Thanks, it help me understand a little bit more.
I used the system font for testing and that’s exactly the cause.
