Bug with technical mode and transparency

For a work i need draw over a 3ds file client.

the semi-transparent mode is good but we can’t just hide the tangent edges of meshes.

I then tested the technical mode with a material color and transparency.

When an object is selected, there is no problem:

viewmode4

When i active the shadow, all is right:

viewmode5

I can reproduce the error (without my custom plugin)

simply draw a solid cube and a line, then activate the object color and transparency in Technical, Artistic or Pencil mode (without shadow).

In fact, it is the line that produces that. I tested with 800 box everything is fine.
If I add a simple line, the problem comes.

Hello - we see this in some files, there is a bug report that appears to be about the same -

(I can see the problem reported in the bug with the files supplied, here, but I do not see what you show with the box and line, so far.
No, I lied I see it now - thanks, I’ll make a separate bug report. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-49502 )

@jeff will know better if these are all the same thing…

Note: This problem has also come in semi-transparent mode. I hid all the curves of the scene, then I displayed them again and everything returned to normal.
