There are three distances in the PickResult object and all of them give rather moonish results when picking. I fixed the minimum distance by changing the Triangle intersection code in openmali, but the other two still are way too big. Is there something with this values I don't understand or is this a bug? Can somebody with in depth knowledge explain how these values are computed and how they should be interpreted or help me to track down the locations that needs to be changed if this is a bug?

Hmm. I answer myself. Seems that all distances are squared.

That might be true. Then please don't just fix all three values to non-squared ones, but add a mechanism to only convert them to non-squared when needed, since square-root is quite expensive.

Actually the distance is explicitely squared int the triangle intersection code like return( d*d ) But I stay with squared distances for now, since changing them would also affect the move-code in the selection framework and maybe other subsystems, too.
