[Paraview-developers] information_only property doesn't update, please help

[iusadhfoias sidufasipudf]

I never mentioned any obligation to solve my problem. I am just trying to
understand what I did wrong, why my question is ignored, but many others
that don't put much effort into explaining their problem receive lots of
attention.
Colleagues were shocked by Kitwares support contract conditions, so this is
not an option for me. Other companies are thankful for this kind of bug
reports.
