Short description of error

Origin is a double cube with two others and assigned materials.
Shading Tab -> Material Properties icon
Plus sign -> New button (Add a new material)
Edit Mode -> Face selected -> Assign button
In edit mode, both assigned parts are visible. After switching to the object mode, the one assigned to the second material disappears.
Only first material is rendered. If materials order is swapped then another is rendered (always first).
This issue affects versions: 2.81 - 2.83.4, in: solid mode, material mode and render preview (Eevee). 
In: vieport shading mode and render preview (Cycles) is OK
In the earlier version 2.80, both materials were rendered correctly

It seems you're using a development version of Mesa from a PPA. Have you checked if this issue also occurs when using a stable/official release?

@Robert Guetzkow (rjg): Due to other dependencies, I couldn't install the previous stable version. I just add that I have upgraded the system, the kernel and upgraded the version to Mesa 20.3.0-devel (git-6668d7a 2020-08-16 bionic-oibaf-ppa). Unfortunately, I still have same problem. I'm beginning to suspect that it may have something to do with the graphics card (Asus R9280X-DC2T-3GD5), and not only on Linux. I checked on the old Windows 7 system and the lower part of the cube is displayed, but strange artifacts appear. Before that, I didn't see any problems with 3D games. In 2.80 I can see the model correctly. Strange

The graphics chip in that GPU is Radeon™ R9 280 which has the GCN first generation micro-architecture. It meets the minimum requirements as far as I can tell.
