Descriptive Problem Summary:
So a lot of the things that used maptext just suddenly broke. The maptext outline procs we made no longer work, name tags are no longer showing up, etc.

After messing around with maptext long enough, I noticed the outline objects that are attached as underlays to the main object, automatically adjust itself to the main object's maptext.

I attempted to workaround by adding it as an underlay first, then changing it's maptext, but that obviously didn't work since overlays/underlays are constants.

I also realized since the player has no maptext assigned to him, that's why the name tag isn't showing up. (note, the nametag is assigned to the player as an overlay, if it was a separate object, it would work fine.)
I can second this. Maptext used as overlay doesn't show up, period.
I can confirm this is an issue.
