[vtkusers] Camera is not updated

[Cory Quammen]

Jens,

Please remember to "reply-all" so that others on the list may benefit from
or contribute to the conversation.

Do you have a small code sample that reproduces the issue? This kind of
camera manipulation followed by rendering is done all the time (see [1],
for example), so I'm not sure what is going on.

Thanks,
Cory
