[Paraview] requesting particular animation frame

[Moreland, Kenneth]

None of the filters you mention should effect the pipeline time and I still cannot replicate your problem.  I was using the exodus reader, so it could be a problem with whatever reader you are using.  Perhaps you could add breakpoints to the RequestInformation and RequestData methods to see check the times being requested.
