It's a curve object type.

This didn't really worked well even in 2.79, but now it's definitely worse... I guess I will leave this to UI team to triage.

Oh I thought it was some custom object.

I was just about to send a report because of this issue that exists since the first version of 2.80
Funny enough I found this here, so I can add a video showing this problem (captured in the very latest 2.90 master, all previous versions of 2.8x behave in the same way):

Additional info: You don't need to go into edit mode to see the path / curve. Changing the view angle reveals the curve, too.
This is all with the default theme, no addons or third-party stuff needed, just vanilla Blender.

From the interface point of view, I don't see a reason for the grid to overlap wire objects.
In fact, the grid itself does not overlap wire objects, only the red and green lines.
The question is whether this is a known limitation or a bug.

@Clément Foucault (fclem), can you give a light?
