[vtk-developers] patch for vtkInteractorStyle.cxx

[Chris Kruszynski]

Perhaps nobody ever uses timers in vtk, but this is something that has 
been bugging me for quite some time and I decided to fix it: 
vtkInteractorStyle and it's subclasses ignore the TimerId of a 
TimerEvent and will respond to any TimerEvent from the interactor even 
if it's not for the timer that they had set.

If you set a second timer on the interactor, and the timer goes off, 
vtkInteractorStyle will invoke OnTimer(). This is most noticeable if you 
set a quick repeating timer, and set the interactor style to trackball 
camera: if you press the left mouse button in the render window, the 
interactor will start rotating just like with the joystick camera style, 
while your mouse movements have still the same effect corresponding to 
the trackball camera style.

This is a one-liner, but I am not sure if it breaks anything (probably 
doesn't?).


regards,

Chris
