I have had a few small problems on a new build...
1. When I turn on the "Use Light" button, it's really bright. Is the old
headlight turned off?
2. Sometimes (I haven't found anything repeatable) when I adjust the key
light intensity, the light kit seems get turned off. It won't come back
on -- I have to restart ParaView to use it again.
3. I have to resize the control panel to be _really_ wide in order to
adjust the elevation and azimuth angles, which can be slow when a large
model is loaded.
4. The settings aren't saved.
But I don't want to sound too harsh... I really like using it,
especially with wireframes of models with normal vectors.
