This is a bug related to the Java 3D. It should be better in the latest 
release. What I will suggest you 
is to try the latest version. If the problem not solved, we have a few options 
to 
discuss later. 

> In a related matter, when the same overlay is created with the text

Not sure what you mean here with shading override all other fields. Can
you explain a little details?
