Sprite: Raycasting with offscreen sprites fails
See original GitHub issueDescription of the problem
A user in the forum reported a bug in Sprite.raycast().
https://discourse.threejs.org/t/problematic-raycasting-of-offscreen-three-sprite-object/3644
The method depends on Object3D.modelViewMatrix. But this matrix is only updated if the sprite is actually rendered. If not, modelViewMatrix does not regard the actual object’s transformation. This means that Sprite.raycast() detects intersections of sprites outside the view frustum.
