Racial Stealth Damage Bonus work with NB Invisibility?

I realize the tool tip says "while in stealth" yet many tool tips in-game are wrong and many skills that say "stealth" also work while invisible. So I'm wondering if the Bosmer and Khajiit racial passives that give a damage bonus 'from stealth' also grant that bonus while invisible? I've been looking all over for a concrete, definitive answer and all I can find is a lot of conflicting responses and most of those are also well over a year old; so I thought I'd revisit the question in 2016. ;)

    Yes. Invisible counts as Stealth. Basically, anytime it says you are "hidden".

    Check your weapon damage before sneak. Go into sneak and check again. THis should verify the bonus damage for normal.

    Repeat this for cloak. There is your answer.

    That's easy enough to say IF you have a Nightblade that has already leveled enough to get those passives, but if you're someone who is looking to create a character and wants this information before proceeding, there is no way to test this themselves, hence the reason forums exist, to get information from other people who DO have the ability to test it. ;)

    This is what i know. No, if you're in combat and you go invisible, you don't get the racial bonus.
    it only works when you're stealthed and out of combat.
