System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.17134 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 416.81

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.81 (sub 3), branch: master, commit date: 2019-08-22 20:40, hash: 1de7717ed7
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
X-ray in edit mode. X-ray = 1, but I can still see backface geometry.

Perhaps this should work like this:
X-ray =1 - full solid, non transperent. Backface geometry not visible.
X-ray =0.9 - as it is now at a value of 1. the mesh is not transparent, but the back geometry is already visible.
X-ray = less than 0.9 - the mesh becomes transparency, linearly.

Perhaps this migrated from 2.7. But it looks strange, you move the slider to the full value, and expect to see a completely not transparent result, but the transparency does not go away completely, you can still see the backface geometry.

Works as designed. The options is just controlling how transparent the faces appear, not whether X-ray is on/off. If you want to turn X-Ray off you need to use the button or the shortcut ALT + Z.

The X-ray slider is only meant to affect the opacity of the shaded mesh, not wireframe and vertices.

but then I cannot select the backface geometry if I turn off the x-ray

@AxelMening-4 If you have X-ray on you will see the backfacing geometry no matter what the alpha value for the X-ray is. That is the whole purpose of having an X-ray mode.

dear designer ，I hope the birth of a new view and chose model，that I can chose the background vertex but I do not want to see the vertex ，thank you~
I do not want to care The definition of X-ray or Wireframe，I just hope blender 2.8 has this Point selection function ,But don't mind if you can improve the original program to achieve this selection mode~
