I had little hope in this one being acknowledged as a bug... Thank you so much @Clément Foucault (fclem) ! You're the man :)

Anybody else noticed CTRL+SPACE doesn't work on Ubuntu? (Though it could be just me.)

Thank you, @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) !

Hi, Marco! To be honest, I was doubting whether this is a bug or not given my limited knowledge of rendering engines. I was thinking maybe a semitransparent material shouldn't be able to emit light too in the physical world, but then I remembered EEVEE wasn't a physically based ray tracer... although I'm neither sure about this!

Sorry if this one is not for discussion, but the other referred ones are archived. So I'm not sure...

Maybe I did something really stupid, but I couldn't apply the patch to the recent master, and neither could I figure out what was the last commit this patch would work on, so I manually (and a bit painfully) introduced the changes and managed to make it build after fixing a few implicit conversions which appear to be disallowed by the compiler options (taking warnings as errors, I think).

Excuse my noobishness, did I get right that this diff didn't get committed as of yet? When can we expect it if so?
Thanks

I think this is the same bug: related to : https://developer.blender.org/rB2f737c4f475a56 (@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) commit)
When we checkout the previous commit, suzanne is displayed correctly in front view:

It might be relevant: Appending a mesh and curve from a 2.80 .blend into 2.79 renders the curve occluded in both object and edit modes.

I have also found this to be the case with meshes, when one of them is set to "in front" and both are selected and going into edit mode, no matter which one is the active object. But I do not know if this is to be expected anyways in this not-so-common case.

Sorry, and thanks for clearing this up.

Hello, this is still broken in 2.77a
