Short description of error
When going to Sculpt Mode and doing sculpting, after exiting SculptMode and returning to ObjectMode the mesh seems as it did not take any sculpting.
After saving and reopening the file, it looks OK.
After further testing on a default scene with a scene I think the culprit is that some AutoSmoothing gets applied to the mesh. If i go to Properties > ObjextData >check then uncheck again AutoSmooth it get's fixed.
This has to be repeated after each time you go into SculptMode and exit.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Create a Cube
  • Add Subsurf 4 Levels
  • Apply Subsurf / Convert To Mesh
  • Enter SculptMode > Change to Crease Brush with strong strngth > Apply some strokes
  • Exit SculptMode

... The mesh looks weird. Enter SculptMode - it looks fine

  • Go to Properties > ObjextData >check then uncheck again AutoSmooth it get's fixed.
  • This happens every time entering ScilptMode and making strokes.

I haven't been sculpting as of late so I didn't notice it earlier.
Just checked going back to older versions of Blender off buildbot, and this is present in older versions as well.
tracked it back at least to: 1cfe274-win64

This has nothing to do with auto-smooth, it’s just mesh normals not being updated when leaving sculpt mode…
