[Paraview-developers] Windows 7 transparency appears too transparent (second posting)

[David Lonie]

It does sound like a driver issue to me as well, since we use the same
depth peeling code on both platforms.

While Utkarsh is looking at the file opening issue, can you try another
test in ParaView 5.1.0? Something simple, like a sphere source with opacity
< 1. I'm curious if the new implementation hits the same problem.

Thanks,
Dave
