I am trying to use THREE.Raycaster to show an html label when the user hover an object. It works fine if I use THREE.Mesh but with THREE.Sprite it looks like that there is a space that increases with the scale of the object.
The creation process is the same for both scenario, I only change the type based on USE_SPRITE variable.
if ( USE_SPRITE ) {
// using SpriteMaterial / Sprite
m = new THREE.SpriteMaterial( { color: 0xff0000 } );
o = new THREE.Sprite( m );
} else {
// using MeshBasicMaterial / Material
m = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xff0000 } );
o = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.PlaneGeometry( 1, 1, 1 ), m );
}

I am not sure if it is a bug with THREE.Sprite or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.
