DisplayDebug text overlapping

Development Programming & Scripting UI

In UE 4.11, ShowDebug Camera from the console initiates the DisplayDebug HUD canvas and results in an overlap of text. The reason is due to the following code…

FDisplayDebugManager DisplayDebugManager = Canvas->DisplayDebugManager;

…when it should be…

FDisplayDebugManager & DisplayDebugManager = Canvas->DisplayDebugManager;

Additionally, when used with HMDs the information is way off screen. This can be resolved by re-initializing via…

Canvas->DisplayDebugManager.Initialize(Canvas, nullptr, FVector2D(300.0f, 300.0f));

… Currently I override DisplayDebug in my Pawn class and re-initialize there after determining if I am in HMD mode.
