[osg-users] Arcball Camera without unexpecting 'roll' of the camera

[Christian Buchner]

Could it be that the "throw" feature of the camera manipulator is
responsible for the roll?
If so, try disabling it.

Also, post source code if you want specific help with a specific issue in
your implementation.
