In the new ImageVtkMapper2D the swivil mode (and crosshair rotation etc.) is not working properly. However, there is also a defect in the old version:
Load Pic3D, rotate one crosshair axis and move the crosshair afterwards

> the crosshair won't properly point of the pixel-center

Issue in the new mapper:
The plane is rotated correctly but also translated for some reason.

The following code shows the planes and could be usefull for debugging:
(at the end of ImageVtkMapper2D::GenerateData())

static int counter = 0;
if(counter < 3)
{
  mitk::Surface::Pointer surf = mitk::Surface::New();
  surf->SetVtkPolyData(localStorage->m_Mapper->GetInput());
  surf->Update();

  mitk::DataNode::Pointer node = mitk::DataNode::New();
  node->SetData(surf);
  renderer->GetDataStorage()->Add(node);
  counter++;
}
