You seem to be the second user with the same issue on this specific GPU:

> I am using paraview with meshes of neurons, which are large and sparse. When I try to use the pick center tool, I expect the center to be placed wherever I click on the mesh. However, as you can see in the pictures, when clicking in the soma of the neuron, the center is placed quite far behind the mesh where I clicked. Can I change some settings or do anything else to fix this?
