Utkarsh,

Thanks for the quick fix - applied to 3.6, and it works.  However, I'm
using a Sphere source for testing, and when I set the two resolutions
to 200, I get an immediate crash.  I'm using a 3x3 display, and each
is 2560x1600.  Didn't happen when I used 1x1, 1x2 and 2x2 tiles - but
did at 3x3.  Also doesn't happen if I set the resolutions to only 100.

Greg

Greg,

I've committed a fix for this issue on to the ParaView CVS head. Once
you confirm that the issue is resolved, I'll move the patch to 3.6
branch and it will be included in 3.6.2 patch release.

Attached is a patch for the changed files against the 3.6 branch to
make it easier for you to test against your current checkout.
