[vtk-developers] Delayed mouse interaction due to event-loop bug in Qt5

[Christoph Kolb]

I am not sure if the Qt5 bug is ever going to be fixed, because the 
report (and patch) is very old. It could even be intentional...
In the worst case, it might be necessary to compress the events in VTK. 
Or to prioritize them somehow.

But I'm still very curious why this issue is showing only on some 
machines. Is it possible that the rendering is just slower in my case?
I have compared my test execution times with those of
https://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=3711375
and they seem to be equal. Is the described problem also showing there?

Regards
Christoph
