storyboard.showOverlay and newScrollView

I have a scroll view created with widget.newScrollView with some buttons. I wanted to use storyboard.showOverlay when I click the buttons, but it doesn’t show above the scroll view (the terminal shows the scene being created but no display objects show up). When I comment out the scrollview the overlay works perfectly. Is there a way I can get the showOverlay to work with the scrollView?
