ListPanel inside OverhangPanelSetScene not showing leftLabel or rightLabel

I created a simple ListPanel inside a OverhangPanelSetScene, then created a LabelList child and populated it with some entries. The LabelList shows up fine, but the leftLabel and rightLabel above it do not.

I also tried to use showSectionLabels=true with sectioned content inside my LabelList, but since leftLabel is not showing up I can't see the section titles either.

    Can anyone else confirm or deny that they see this problem?

    Here's an example panel:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <component name="NavPanel" extends="ListPanel">
      <script type="text/brightscript">
        <![CDATA[
          sub init()
            m.top.overhangTitle = "Test"
            m.top.leftLabel.text = "hello"
            m.top.rightLabel.text = "world"

            list = m.top.createChild("LabelList")
            list.vertFocusAnimationStyle = "floatingFocus"

            m.content = createObject("RoSGNode","ContentNode")
              addSection("Section 1")
              addItem("Item 1")
              addSection("Section 2")
              addItem("Item 2")
              addItem("Item 3")
            list.content = m.content

            m.top.list = list
          end sub

          sub addSection(sectiontext as string)
            m.sectionContent = m.content.createChild("ContentNode")
            m.sectionContent.CONTENTTYPE = "SECTION"
            m.sectionContent.TITLE = sectiontext
          end sub

          sub addItem(itemtext as string)
            item = m.sectionContent.createChild("ContentNode")
            item.title = itemtext
          end sub
        ]]>
      </script>
    </component>

    Were you still experiencing this issue?

    I ran the component example you posted above within the Scenegraph tutorial app, and I'm able to see both labels above the highlighted item in the listpanel.

    Could you send a screenshot of what's on your screen?

    Thanks a lot for confirming it works for you!

    I figured out the problem.. the color of the text was the same as the background, so it wasn't visible.

    So setting the leftLabel or rightLabel to some specific text definitely works. But if I leave them blank, and set

            m.top.showSectionLabels = true

    then the leftLabel is not automatically populated like the documentation suggests.
