Water Bug

When rasing the water level in the StrongHold mission, i noticed this graphical oddity :

Even though the trees are fully submerged under the water, i can still see the leaves.

Anyone else noticed this?

Form the vantage point the screenshot was taken it appears that the water is just below the level of the leaves.... What exactly is the problem?

The tree including the leaves is totally underneath the water.
Nothing is above the water.

I've noticed this as well... The render order isn't working out right.

Yeah, it's a scenegraph issue with alpha blending ordering. If you really want underwater trees, you'll have to look at how the SceneRenderImage is set for trees and modify it appropriately.

I've seen this exact same behaviour in DAOC and in SWG(BETA not sure if they fixed it)
