[Paraview] ParaView 3.98.1: Problems with Space Navigator

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Also,

This does not look right:

 <Style class="vtkVRGrabWorldStyle" proxy="2125" property="Visibility">

Can you try current master of ParaView and re-create the interactions
config? It should not allow you to select visibility with grab world style.
