System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 430.86

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 74), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-11 13:50, hash: 06312c6d2d
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Appending invisible viewport objects from a 2.7x file seems to make these objects permanently unusable, though indicated as visible in the hierarchy.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

In 2.7x, save .blend file with some or all viewport objects (in test file, this is the Suzanne head, a cube, and light)
In 2.8, File->Append, import all (or just the invisible) contents in Objects directory of the prior saved .blend file
The resulting import will have the objects as "visible" in the hierarchy, but with names greyed out and not in viewport

Attachments

2.7 original: 279test.blend
2.8 imported result: 280result.blend

@Laphicet This is not a bug, visibility options have changed in 2.8 so that hidden objects in 2.7 and older files get "globally hidden" instead.
You need to activate the correspondent restriction icon in the outliner to be able to show those objects:

@dfelinto I think that a lot of people will have this problem..
Maybe the versioning should check if there are hidden objects in the scene and if so automatically show the restriction option, would it be possible?
