BillboardTextSN and position update

I've just updated from official 1.7.2 to SVN revision 3903 and found out that now I have to call updateAbsolutePosition() for every BillboardTextSceneNode after changing it's position. I was wondering if it's a bug, or perhaps I'm just doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Your BillboardTextSceneNode is in the scene and SceneManager::drawAll is still called? Because that's where it should get updated... don't see right now how it can't happen.

Yes, it is in the scene and drawAll() is being called all the time. Here's how I create it:
Code: Select all
Conversation conversation;
conversation.exclamationInner = smgr->addBillboardTextSceneNode(fontBig, L"!", 0, core::dimension2d<f32>(1.8f,7.5f), core::vector3df(0,0,0), -1, video::SColor(255, 255,220,0),video::SColor(255, 255,220,0));
And i move it like this:
Code: Select all
conversation.exclamationInner->setPosition(core::vector3df(camera->getTarget().X, camera->getTarget().Y-20.1f, camera->getTarget().Z));
conversation.exclamationInner->updateAbsolutePosition(); //wasn't necessary in 1.7.2
Also, here's a fragment of the Conversation class:
Code: Select all
class Conversation
{
public:
scene::IBillboardTextSceneNode* exclamationInner;
}
No idea why the problem occurs. I've tried changing the font, id, text, dimensions and some of the driver settings, also checked every available driverType, but it didn't help.

What happens if you don't call that - does it not move at all or does it move delayed?

It doesn't move at all.
