Hi, When are the below issues going to be fixed? 1. Image element masks are not working properly. This affects all scroll-view content and other usage of image element masks. 2. When using RenderLayerToTexture script from tutorials, the texture created is upside-down compared to the camera view which is being created as a texture. I believe they are both know issues and been existing for quite some time now. Please fix these ASAP.

Hi yaustar, For 1, I humbly apologize for confusing an old ticket related to masks with this. So I thought this was a known issue. Please check the scroll-view UI in this project https://playcanvas.com/project/855675/overview/test . When you launch the project and scroll vertically, the scrolled content that should be hidden is still visible.

This is because in the hierarchy, Entity ‘Sample’ does not have an element component.

All UI entities under a screen need to have an element component throughout the hierarchy otherwise some functionality doesn’t work.

Making the ‘Sample’ Entity an Image Group that is always fullscreen fixes the issue as seen here

I have a ticket here to add a warning in these scenerios.

Add warning to inspector there is an UI screen and with entities that don't have element components
