[Paraview] Coordinates and normal vectors

[Eric E. Monson]

The points appear to still be selected, and still show up in the  
selection inspector, but the labels stay where they were and are not  
updated to the current point positions on the screen or currently  
appropriate label values. You then have to change something about the  
properties in the selection inspector pane to get labels to update.
