[Paraview] Filter pulldown menu grayed out

[Berk Geveci]

We are going to use Qt 4.6 for the ParaView 3.8 release so I recommend
that everyone building cvs use that (despite the warning about it not
being officially supported). Please let us know if you can reproduce
this with Qt 4.6.

The problem went away when I switched to Qt 4.6.0 built for only x86_64 (Cocoa) and built ParaView for that architecture, too. I didn't do a systematic series to see which of these changes (single x86_64 arch or Qt 4.6.0 or both) made the difference, but it works now and hopefully will work for you with PV 3.6.2.
