FS#175 - Radiosity. Emissive and scattering media don't illuminate object inside container.
Tested with beta 40. Also affect version 3.6.1 as reported in the discution group.
When using radiosity and emissive media. Any object, or part of, that is inside the media container is not affected by the illumination comming from the media.
When using scattering media, the light scattered by the media also don’t affect objects that are inside it’s container.

Radisoity and media interaction is a rather complex feature. Not all possible interactions are that well defined. So this may actually work as intended, even though it does not look as it should...
