Short description of error
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a known issue, but Grease Pencil objects are clipping through polygons with little to know effort. It makes sense if the Grease Pencil object is flush with the surface of a polygon, but it seems to clip into the object if I zoom the camera a distance. It seems to occur when I set the Stroke Depth Order to 3D Location.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Create any sort of CGI model and then a Grease Pencil object.
  2. Once you draw on the surface of the object (a little offset is recommended), go into Object Data Properties > Strokes. From there, set the Stroke Depth Order to 3D Location.
  3. Zoom out with the camera and you'll see the result.

Could you test the last daily build?

What do you mean by the last daily build? Do you mean the official stable version or the experimental version? I checked the site and it stated this:

"Blender 2.82 was released on February 14, 2020"

I already downloaded a new version of Blender from last night, so have you fixed the bugs and replaced the download just now?

EDIT: Seems that I found the page that has the daily builds. While there is a beta for 2.82a, the page warns me that they are likely unstable and I should use them at my own risk.

I mean the 2.83 version. The last Monday (March 9th) we merge a full refactor of the grease pencil drawing engine to solve all issues like this, so try to test the daily build (2.83 Alpha).

Okay, I carefully tried the new experimental version of Blender. While the last 2.82 build provided unchanged results, the 2.83 version worked extremely well! Even the new features caught my eye!

All the same, though, I'd rather not touch this version until the official one "hits the market." I don't want my files getting corrupted or worse.
