[Paraview] Near and far clipping plane issues.

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Tim,

This seems to have been fixed in 3.8. You may want to try to download
the binaries from paraview.org. Alternative, apply the "Outline"
filter to your data and leave it visible. That way the clipping bounds
will be computed correctly.
