Might be the same as #102199 (Regression: Armatures [in front] overlay doesn't update properly (toggling overlay ON and OFF)) (which was bisected down to 0f95f51361)

Short description of error
When an object (specific ones) is set to be displayed in front of everything else, it will not come back immediately when reenabling the overlays. This happens only in solid shading mode as far as I can tell.

The objects affected by this are first off all objects which have some kind of lines, so camera, lights, the wireframes of meshes, outlines of reference images, empties, ...
Then there is also the armature which is special in the way that it is rendered solid, but it also vanishes just like the lines.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Add an armature
set it to In Front in Armature > Viewport Display
toggle the viewport overlays on and off (that button next to x-ray)
if your rendering was set to solid shading, the armature should be gone now
rotate the view, the armature will reappear
you can do the same with the default camera and light and on the cube if wireframes are enabled (globally or locally on the cube)

Can not reproduce with 3.0.0 (2d146b61d8) May be I am missing a step.

It seems to be very platform specific.
@PratikPB2123 What graphics card/OS are you using?

So someone with an nvidia card would be welcome to try and reproduce next.

I can reproduce on 2.92, 2.93 and master (3.0). in 2.91 it works well:

I think I've seen this once on my system as well, but cannot repro now from provided steps.

But since we have reproduced at least once, will set to confirmed.

I have what I think is the same bug here, though come by slightly differently.

**System Information**
Operating system: Linux-5.8.0-59-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 470.63.01
version: 3.0.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2021-10-27 22:07, hash: `rBb838eaf2b960`

Steps from startup:

select default cube, set to in front
enter edit mode
turn off overlays
move camera/mesh
turn on overlays - edit mesh overlay is missing or clipping
move camera/mesh - overlay comes back immediately

Results of different camera movements in step 4:
none: no effect
small rotation: overlay is clipping through object
large rotation: overlay disappears
zoom in: no effect
zoom out: overlay disappears
very slight zoom out: overlay disappears, might just see the vertices peeking out

Video showing bug:
0:00 - in front off, normal behaviour
0:20 - in front turned on
0:28 - first appearance of bug, overlay disappeared after zoom out
0:47 - overlay clipping after small camera rotation

edit mesh overlay is missing or clipping

Hi @tomjk, thanks for investigating. I can reproduce with your provided steps. But probably a different bug than actual report.
