Bug SpirteAsset won't render in front even with DistanceFieldOverlay

Hi, I am using sprite asset to display some icons in my World TextMeshPro component:

"<sprite=3> MyText"

To get this text to always render in front of other objects in the scene, I am using the Mobile/Distance Field Overlay as suggested in this thread.



It works for normal text but the sprite asset will not render in front.

To show an example:



When I adjust the 'y' value so the text is in front of the mesh:



The shield icon appears then. So only the sprite is not rendering in front.

Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong? Thanks
