[Paraview-developers] Visualization issues after switching from PV 5.1.2 to 5.3

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Odd. A good starting point is to save out the data opened in older and
newer versions as one of the standard supported file formats and compare
that they are indeed what's expected. At that point, if it possible to
share the exported dataset (that way I won't need your plugin code), we
could see if I can reproduce the issue and see what could be going on.
