System Information
Operating system and graphics card

OS: Windows 7 64Bit
Graphics card : NVS4200M

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.71RC2

Short description of error
Take the default cube. UV unwrap it (smart uv). Switch to texture paint mode. If you zoom the 3d view with the mouse scroll wheel, you can't paint on the model. If I zoom out a few steps, painting works. If I zoom in, it doesn't work again.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Afraid this is known limitation, You'll have to zoom out or disable Normal option.

Hm... wouldn't it be better practice to pop up a warning in this case instead of silently doing nothing? I was trying out a lot of stuff till I found out how to get paint on the cube.

Thx

This isn't a case which can be simply checked for without going over all faces first.
See hints: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Textures/Painting/Projection

The problem is only when you zoom into the side of a cube in perspective mode.
