- The "hit mode" mostly works with 3D graphics. There is a bug in dealing
- with perspective mode when the front "set_pick_depth" limit is placed
- behind the eye_plane. If you are using perspective, you can avoid the
- problem by placing the front pick limit in front of the eyeplane.

- The problem will be corrected in the 9.0 release.
