Canvas Text Draws behind in-world objects

I am playing with the Shapes Samples and noticed something with the IMCanvas Sample.

I performed the following steps:

1. Imported to my project
   1. The Unity Starter Assets – Third Person Controller
   2. The Shapes Library
2. Included in SampleScene
   1. 3D Object (for the ground)
      1. Plane
   2. Starter Assets (For Third-Person Controls)
      1. PlayerFollowCamera
      2. PlayerArmature
      3. MainCamera
   3. Shapes (for the HUD)
      1. Copy of Canvas from the Shapes Samples Scene: IMCanvas

As I pan the camera around:

• The Canvas Drawing of shapes shows as expected.
• The Canvas Drawing of text always draws behind the ground plane. (see images below)

Is this expected behavior?

Is there a recommendation on how to get the HUD Text?

Otherwise, this is a perfect feature and I would like to make use of it.
