sorry zapatista, you are wrong, although i appreciate many things you brought up in this thread already...
you said:" the reason i keep mentioning the need to first set the correct "normal" FoV for your personal monitor size and home viewing setup, is that in any of these "visibility bug" discussions we need to start from a known quantity with most in-game parameters set to represent as closely as possible a similar real life situation."
and thats where i have to disagree with you, as this bug seems to be dependent on three different settings:
resolution
FOV
model details
this bug doesnt give a rats ... about "correct" FOV.
you can simply recreate it:
use a resolution of 1024x768
+ FOV 90°
+ medium model details
