With hide to gi, shadow becomes less, but still present? also notice strange lines on the floor!

lightsource is a standard emitter

Maybe this half shadow is a useful feature, maybe its an improvement rather than a bug?

ps. strange lines on the floor could be one of those random computer glitches, I'll double check that...

Edit: Well, the lines are consistently buggy, but I think its a quite seperate problem, prob related to the floor texture.

Yes, I did and I can't confirm that slight shadow you are getting. I'm getting no shadow at all when GI is off for the cube. I tried with a regular emitter and a spot type emitter as well. So if you can recreate that scene and slight shadow please send it to me.
