Short description of error
If I add a Sun lamp, the shadows work in perspective mode but disappear more or less in ortho view. Eevee only.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Open Blender and add a plane for a shadow to fall on.
  2. Add a sun lamp and position it so that it makes a shadow.
  3. Switch to ortho view and watch as shadow is no longer visible or is distorted.
NOTE: In orthographic camera view, shadow is gone entirely. From user orthographic view it is visible but not correct at all. Point, spot, and area lamps work as expected.

I can't reproduce this on my end. Does it still happen with the latest blender beta?

If it does, what it the output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL?
