Strangely, wires are not drawn on the masked selection (yes, the very selection you've masked off and are trying to paint). Does anyone have a reasonable workaround for this behavior?

Edit mode: faces selected to mask. "Wire" and "Draw all edges" checked:

Texture paint mode: Face selection masking disabled:

Texture paint mode: Face selection masking enabled (wires are not drawn on the masked faces):

  • $\begingroup$ This is indeed present behaviour, the wireframe won't be shown on the selected faces with Face selection masking enabled. I didn't ever find any workaround for that, although in general situations it wasn't really needed. $\endgroup$

I have used this technique for a long time now. Make a square texture with a colored border, I make mine with transparent center square and a blue outer rim. On the object to be painted, assign a new uv map and unwrap it, reset it so that it is all faces overlapped as a square. set the texture to use this second uv map, and set the main texture as the active painting slot. I set the square texture to 'Multiply' instead of Mix, and I use GLSL to make sure I see the effect of the texture over the main color texture. I am including a screen shot to show that the texture simulates the wireframe you want and works while you are using face selection masking.overlayHere is the texture enter image description here
