Changing from Wireframe to Solid (with Xray activated) should NOT turn off X-Ray

When changing from Solid mode (X-Ray activated) to Wireframe, X-Ray gets deactivated. So it seems that Solid and Wireframe mode remembers if X-Ray was activated in their modes and keeps it like that once you change back. I would suggest to have X-Ray change globally instead of depending on the mode.

What do you guys think?

* @zgorg2004 * If you toggle Xray in Solid mode, it activates Xray, then go to Wireframe, deactivate xray go back to solid. You see that Xray is still active because it saves the last current state. Seperate from Wireframemode. Xray is not global, just for the mode you are in right at that moment.

* @Sam * not for single mode, but for Wire vs 3 others.

* @Sam * ah ok now I see...this is a bug because in the programming, there is a record of the last state and it must change others. they forgot this case. if you are in z view and go in solid view with Xray on (after a toggle) it's not working too. but in the opposite direction this is working. you should do a report it's quick with Blender.

* @zgorg2004 * there is no bug. Separate saving for wireframe and 3 others.

I think, now blender works as it should: it remembers 2 states: for wireframe (where xray is used much oftener) and three other modes together. So I think it is goo to have such scheme instead global x-ray setting. In wireframe mode I can see all through (by default), and in other modes all is solid by default. Otherwise I will be forced switch on x-ray half of time, when I enable wireframe viewport.

Word-wise, it's still pretty unclear what you're getting at. Perhaps include some images that show the options you have set and the result you expect versus what Blender currently gives.

* @Jason van Gumster * I changed the wording a bit, hopefully this clarifies it.
