How to make an OptionButton work with a Panel

sarrowsmith

I'm trying to create a HUD for a 2D game which has a Panel for background for assorted buttons and labels. It's mostly working fine, apart from OptionButtons and MenuButtons. The PopupMenu is (a) hidden by the panel and (b) apparently detached from the parent button. The way I've got it set up means the HUD moves in world space with the camera, and doing this reveals the popup menu from below the Panel. I've tried every ordering of the nodes I can think of to no effect.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Did you add the HUD as a child of a CanvasLayer node? Otherwise, it won't follow the Camera2D as it moves.

I've got the HUD and Camera as children of the same Node2D to keep them locked together, using Z-index to keep them overlaying the world. This might not be the right way of doing it, but it works just fine and isn't my problem, as I've reproduced that in a minimal project with a fixed camera.

(I've worked around it by using a MenuButton and repositioning the popup to off the panel in an about_to_show handler, but that's a bit hacky.)
