Compile error in vtkWidgetRepresentation.cxx
When compiling ParaView 5.11.0 with GCC 6.5.0, I get a compile error about an ambiguous overload of std::abs. The problem is that std::abs is being called with a double value. The compiler does not know whether to use the long or long long version of the function. The error happens on line 371 of VTK/Interaction/Widgets/vtkWidgetRepresentation.cxx.
The problem appears to be introduced by vtk/vtk!9081 (merged). I realize this is technically a VTK bug, but it is affecting the ParaView 5.11 rollout.
The full error is below.
