When applying transform: scale() to any of the parent divs of the renderCanvas, scene.pointerX and scene.pointerY values will have an offset, based on the scale value in transfrom.  
How would I be able to fix this issue, without having to remove the scale transform from the div?

Here’s a PG: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#Q05HRF#2](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#Q05HRF#2)  
Click anywhere to create a sphere using scene.pick(pointerx, pointery), but you’ll notice that it is not accurate, to where its supposed to create the sphere.

It seems there is no solution 🤔
