All text appears over avatar

All inworld hovertext (on objects or in avatar tags) is correctly occluded by objects or avatars in front of it. (See Test Plan.) Exception 1: Objects with transparency or with textures with an alpha channel might not correctly occlude stuff behind them, due to a known limitation. Exception 2: Objects and Avatars 'too' close to the center of the object with {{llSetText}} text or Avatar A won't occlude the hovertext or nametag text, especially if the object with {{llSetText}} text large. This is expected: The text is pushed towards the camera by the radius of the object. (Maybe to avoid self-occlusion? I'm not sure.) See indra/newview/llhudtext.cpp lines 380-400 ( https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/viewer-development/src/3b734a58e7a6/indra/newview/llhudtext.cpp#cl-380 )

Place an object with hovertext (set by llSetText ) behind another object (without alpha) or behind an avatar. Make sure the object in front or the avatar in front is well outside the bounding sphere of the object with hovertext. Verify that the hover text is occluded by the object or avatar in front. Make sure display of nametags is enabled (this is the default) Place an avatar (A) behind an object (without alpha) or behind another avatar (B). Place A far enough away from the object or B for A's nametag background to be occluded by B or the object. Verify that the name tag foreground (i.e., the text: group tag (if visible), display name and maybe username) is occluded by the object in front or by avatar B, just like the nametag background. Enable bubble chat, if it isn't already enabled. (Disabled by default.) Have avatar A say something. Verify that bubble chat (foreground and background) is occluded by the object in front or by avatar B, just like the nametag background.
