Weird artifacts when showing hidden edges
Hi all,
I'm almost certain this is a problem that's just appeared as I view hidden edges all the time and have never encountered this until recently. As you can see in the attachments, I am getting weird artifacts (gradients that appear to be surfaces that don't actually exist, and phantom edges that don't exist) when I turn on Shaded with Hidden Edges OR Wireframe with Hidden Edges. These errors only appear when looking from certain sides: for example it appears like this for the RIGHT and LEFT view but not the FRONT view (or a random orbit view) - even though the model is symmetrical and should appear the same from all sides. It's definitely a bug of some kind and I'd expect someone to say that it's related to a graphics card driver, except that the SAME behavior occurs on a Thinkpad T430 with Windows 10 and an iMac with Sierra. I can file this as a bug but I figured I'd post here first to see if anyone else noticed when it started appearing.
