System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Nvidia 2080 graphics card

Blender Version
Broken: 2.79
Worked: 2.77

Short description of error

when weighting meshes the "Limit selection to visible" button does not work when smoothing weights behind vertices so it does not smooth or transfers weights from the front of the vertices to the ones behind it. I've noticed if I download 2.77 and use the same method it works but not this 2.79 blender version. I would like to know what caused these changes because it is harder for me to rigg meshes or if there is another tool I could use to have the same effect?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

Here is a gif of what happens when I try to smooth the vertices as they overlap each other which is not supposed to happen.

We are not fixing these types of bugs in 2.79 anymore, only critical ones.

If you can reproduce the issue in 2.80 we can investigate that, otherwise we'll close this.

Note that you're using confusing terminology here, because "Smooth Weights" is the name of an operator. It's a good thing you made a video, so I can see you're actually talking about the Blur brush. I checked in 2.8 and I can't reproduce the issue, although by default, the "Front Faces Only" option is enabled, so I can get the behavior you're looking for by disabling that option.

So imma close this.
