    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    I am trying to design my own vtkTDxInteractorStyle. When I looked
    into vtkTDxInteractorStyleCamera as an example I found something
    puzzling which might be a bug in either vtkTransform or
    vtkTDxInteractorStyleCamera.<br>

does nothing useful because the Transform returns the identity after Inverse (checked with PrintSelf). 
This on the other hand works:

I'm baffled.
