%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---

windows 7 (64 bit)

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

57101

- Short description of error ---

As soon as i add a mirror modifier to the modifier stack, the weights of the active weight map are no longer displayed. The re appear when i disbale the mirror modifier, or apply it.

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

1.) use default scene, enter edit mode
2.) open properties sidebar, in the "Mesh display" panel enable "Show weights"
3.) Go to weight paint mode, draw some weights.
4.) go to edit mode, verify the weights are still displayed.
5.) Add a subdivision-, triangulate-, or mirror- modifier, and see the weights disappear.
6.) go to object mode, apply the modifier, see the weights re appear.

I am actually not sure if that is a feature. In that case could the User interface be changed such that the "Show weights" option gets greyed out in the properties sidebar when a modifier is in the modifier stack ?

%%%This is just not implemented feature for CCGDM and CDDM, and only implemented for EditModeDM. Will check whether it's not so much redesign things to do to support for all cases.

Graying out is also not so much elegant - -you'll need to iterate via all the modifiers on every draw which is crappy. Would rather put info into the tooltip if this feature wouldn't be implemented soon.%%%

%%%I was aware this was unsupported when adding the feature, its more of a limitation then a bug, but nice to support.
