When normals are used, highlights are sometimes visible where they should be
in shadow. I think a similar bug existed for reflection in POV-ray 3.0 but
it was fixed. It was not fixed for highlights though. The following scene
shows visible highlights from a light that is on the opposite side of the
surface than the camera. Clearly that should be fixed.
Can someone please confirm this bug?
// camera in front of box:
camera {location -2.5*z look_at 0}
// light_source behind box:
light_source {1000*z, color 1}
background {color <0.6,0.8,1.0>}
box {
<-1,-1,0>, <1,1,0>
pigment {color rgb 0}
normal {bumps 6 scale 0.2}
// phong and specular shows up ???
finish {phong 1}
}

Yes, I see it too. If the box is using <-1,-1,0>, <1,1,0.000001>
instead then the highlighting vanishes. Add another decimal place and it
reappears. The plane and disc also have it, I couldn't get a cylinder to
show it, whether by scale or base and top narrowing. Only generates
degenerate apex error, presumably before it gets sufficiently thin(?).
Unless plane, box, disc are somehow related and other primitives might not
be, which I wouldn't know anyway.
A very flat sphere won't show it, so I take it this is a problem confined to
just these type objects? (triangles too, etc.)

Yes, as I understand it, the problem is that the normal pertubation makes
the "highlight ray" (in some ways similar to a reflected ray) go *through*
the surface when it should be confined to one side from where it came.
However, if the "highligt ray" is blocked by *another* surface, then it
really is blocked - as it should be.
A box of zero depth works as just a single surface. The effect can be seen
with any object, provided that no surfaces are blocking the "highlight ray".
For example you can also get the effect with a sphere if you place the
camera outside the sphere and the light_source inside the sphere.

Okay, I was going to check on that too and saw this first. Figured it
probably was something of a single surface thing.
Checking on interior_texture just now gets rid of it, even if empty.
Related perhaps?

Isn't this the Shadow Line problem Warp describes in the VFAQ?

No.
The shadow line problem is about absence of diffuse lighting where it is
supposed to be.
This problem is about presence of highlights where they shouldn't be.

Technically they are caused by the same thing: The lighting model used
in POV-Ray (which is based on normal vectors).
(Of course this makes it sound like there's something wrong with this
lighting model and that it's exclusive to POV-Ray. It's not so - this
lighting model is almost the only one used in any renderer.)

I know that.
But while the shadow line problem is problematic to fix, the highlight bug
should be pretty easy to fix.
