Short description of error
Cube metaball are broken in multiple ways (other metaball are fine):

  • Their selection ring isn't visible
  • Weird behavior when deleted and added

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Default startup
  • Add a cube metaball
  • Duplicate it with Shift+D
  • move it next to the first metacube
  • Delete one of the metacube
  • Both disappear and only a selection ring remains

Additionnal note : to see the meta cube again you need to readd another

This also happens with the other metaballs.

You just have to delete the first one you added and the others will vanish.

This is a limitation of the current implementation where the first Meta balls is the parent of the group. The group is determined by the object name. A better solution would be to have a proper group or use the collection system. But not considered a bug.
