@@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ To do this, register a callback using `register_pointer_cb()`.
 
 You can also use `unregister_pointer_cb()` to remove callbacks that are no longer needed. A good example is a "Click on Scene" button, that when pressed, would register a callback that would wait for the next click, and then unregister itself.
 
-Note that the viewer can only listen to *one* scene pointer callback at a time. If you register a new callback, the old one will be unregistered! Be warned that if the callback includes GUI state changes (e.g., re-enabling a disabled button), they may be lost. You can ensure that the GUI state is restored by providing a `done_cb` function that will be called after 1) the callback is run, or 2) the callback is unregistered w/o execution.
