[Paraview-developers] GUI not updating for OpenFOAM reader in v4.0.1

[Paul Edwards]

Btw the patch list isn't empty - it just used to update once "Apply"
had been clicked and now it doesn't (for some reason it doesn't have
all the patches until RequestData has been called...).  Does anyone
have any hints where to look in order to fix this?

Thanks,
Paul
