**1. A concise explanation of the problem you’re experiencing.**

The scene pickPosition does not seem to work in 2D regardless of how depthTestAgainstTerrain is set.

**2. A minimal code example. If you’ve found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.**

**3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.**

Would be nice if there was a common way to pick the location regardless of the scene mode.

**4. The Cesium version you’re using, your operating system and browser.**

Cesium-1.50, Windows 10

Thanks for reporting this Jerrold.

Looks like there’s already an issue open for this: [https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/5076](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/5076)

I’ve gone ahead and bumped it to let them know it’s still broken.
