[Paraview] unexpected behavior w/ "Load State" command

[Jacques Papper]

Hi,

Just a quick question, related somewhat to lookmarks. Is it possible to 
have only a camera position stored in a lookmark ? Also is it possible 
to save the scalar bar settings through a lookmark ?

ParaView resizes the window whenever an object is made visible when no other objects are made visible.  When you loaded the new state, the smaller cone was made visible first, which caused the window to resize to its bounds.  When the disk is made visible, it looks larger because the camera is zoomed in.  It would be really annoying to have the camera reset every time you made an object visible.  (Trust me, we tried it.)
