windows8 Quadro2000

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

Version with error: 53951 2.65 downloaded from build bot
Version that worked fine: 2.65a release version

- Short description of error ---

If an armature is on Xray display mode
the mesh on top of the armature will not be able
to be painted on weight paint mode.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

start blender
1-create a cube
2-create a bone
3-Now we have a cube with a bone
inside it, with not other link with each other.

3-click on X-ray under the display setting. of the
single bone so you can see the bone inside the cube.

4-grab the bone and hit "s" to increase its scale so
its clearly protruding outside the cube, this
is very important, if the bone is not protruding outside the
cube then you will be able to weight paint normally,
at least half the bone needs too be outside the
cube for the bug to be seen

5-click ctrl tab to enter to weight paint mode on
the cube.

6-try to paint a vertex on the cube, you will
see that you can't paint on the cube.

7-go to the bone inside the cube and turn
off X-ray and you will be able to paint
on the cube again.

Also I have a question, on previous version to
select a bone while on weight paint mode
you used to alt+Lmouse but right now if
you click alt you get a very cool tool to weight paint
the mesh around the bone, I like this new feature
a lot but I would like to know what is the new
way to select a bone while in weight paint mode,
as I find having to go in and out weight paint
mode to select a bone a unnecessary step.

Let me know if you were able to reproduce the bug
or of you need me to do any other test.

Thanks for your time

Luis
