Description

help wanted question

It seems that after some recent updates (Aug 13th/Aug 15th) regarding VDP2 and/or Scene2D, the display priority between sprites and Scroll Screens - which can be arranged in different Layers using SetPriority() - has changed.

Up until now the behavior I observed was that the sprites had higher display priority than VDP2::Layer6, thus were drawn on top:
... VDP2::Layer4 < VDP2::Layer5 < VDP2::Layer6 < SPRITES

After updating my local library files to the current repository version, and without having altered my test samples, the display order has changed to this:
... VDP2::Layer4 < SPRITES < VDP2::Layer5 < VDP2::Layer6
The sprites are now hidden by the Scroll Screens assigned to Layer5 or above.

I've created this issue only because I don't know whether this is an intended behavior which has to be taken into account from now on regarding display priorities, or it's an indirect (maybe unintentional) consequence of having modified something else.

Thank you!
