[Paraview] PV 3.81 color legend multiple views

[Andy Bauer]

Hi Ken,

If that is the desired behavior then there is a bug.  You can see from the
attached image that I'm getting that behavior.  This happens when I rescale
the data range in one window.  When I change the active view though it
updates properly so that the legends are again in sync.  This out-of-sync
behavior doesn't happen in 3.8.1 but does happen in my development version.

Stephen, I didn't notice before that it synced when the view was changed so
my information was incorrect.  To get around this behavior though you can
use the calculator filter to create a second copy of the array with a
different name and then create unsynced legends.

I'll file a bug report.
