Blender Version
Broken: 2.78a down to 2.64 (when the mask brush came out)

Short description of error
When dyntopo is disabled and the viewport shading mode is set to texture, the mask brush strokes are not displayed (in both Cycles and Internal).
According to the 2.64 release notes , When the mask brush came out there was no way of displaying the mask in texture mode :

Masks are only visible when drawing with the PBVH, so masks will not be visible if:

Draw mode is not set to 'solid'.

But if it can now be displayed while dyntopo is enabled, I don't see why it couldn't be while it's disabled.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In default new scene :

subdivide the cube a couple of times and apply the modifier
enter sculpt mode and paint a mask on the object with the mask brush
select "Texture" shading in the viewport : no mask anymore
enable dyntopo : the mask is back

the "Shadeless" texture mode is very useful for clearly seeing a mask, and we can use it by enabling dyntopo (see attached image), but it would be much better to have this possibility without dyntopo as it wouldn't break the UVs.

@Blendify Don’t know why you assigned this to me? This is more a drawing issue (OpenGL) than anything else I’d bet, which is totally not my area of expertise.

Not even sure this si a bug actually, since it never worked, and original code stated it was not expected to work…

But then again, if it works when dyntopo is enabled, do you see a good reason why it shouldn't work when it's disabled ?
