How to make gizmos draw above everything else in 2d?

[brianduff]

When I draw 2d gizmos to the screen, they seem to get drawn behind my sprites, so are not visible. I think this is probably because of the z-ordering of my 2d sprites (my sprite transforms use z=1. for background tiles and z=2. for movable sprites).

I thought that I could maybe fix this by setting the depth_bias of the GizmoConfig to -1, since this is documented to draw gizmos above everything else in the scene. However, this didn't seem to have any effect. I can see the gizmo being drawn if I turn off my entire scene background rendering (i.e. disable all my sprites).

It seems like gizmos are unconditionally drawn at z-coordinate 0. in 2d irrespective of the depth_bias. What's the right way to make the gizmos appear above everything else in 2d?

I put together a small example demonstrating this here:

If you change the sprite's transform z co-ordinate in main.rs to 0. rather than 1. you can see the gizmo as expected.

There is currently a bug that makes gizmos always draw behind everything. It will be fixed in the next hotfix release
