[vtkusers] Issues with picking in VTK Java on Mac OS X

[Kevin Milner]

I got my hands on an older MacBook Pro (non-retina, 13-inch, early 2011) 
running OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks. I ran my code with the same VTK libraries 
compiled from git/master and Java version (1.8u121). On this older 
MacBook, picking works as expected. Both bugs in my original e-mail are 
not present on this older, non-Retina Mac.

Any ideas on how to get this working on new Macs? Or where in the code I 
can start digging? I haven't dug into the VTK source yet and my C is 
rusty but I'm willing to give it a go.

In summary:
Old, non retina mac:
     * 
vtkJoglPanelComponent.getRenderWindowInteractor().GetEventPosition() is 
correct
     * picking with vtkCellPicker.Pick(x, y, 0, 
vtkJoglPanelComponent.getRenderer()) works
Newer, retina macs:
     * 
vtkJoglPanelComponent.getRenderWindowInteractor().GetEventPosition() 
gives incorrect y value, though I can determine correct y value from 
window height and Java MouseEvent
     * picking with vtkCellPicker.Pick(x, y, 0, 
vtkJoglPanelComponent.getRenderer()) doesn't work, thinks that you 
clicked somewhere else

Thanks much,
Kevin
