<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">This is bug number 5659. Frankly, this has been a

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">The problem is that ParaView creates a good scale for your
glyph, using data from time step 0. But, at time step 1, the data can be
totally different. For instance, if you use displacement from time step 0,
displacement will be very near zero for time step 0, and (relative to time step
zero) orders of magnitude larger for time step 1.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">One option is to start using the last time step to create
these scales, realizing that this will slow down the initial load times of large

There is only time 0 in this example, so shouldn't the scale be well defined and constant? Bug 5659 seems to be dealing with the problem of glyph sizes not updating properly, this is dealing with them not being correct from the beginning.<br>
