[Paraview] PV 3.14.1 and 4.01 Calculator error

[Sean Ziegeler]

Yes, I noticed the calculator doing that as well.  I think the intended 
behavior is to insert the text wherever the cursor was last placed.  And 
if the cursor was never manually placed anywhere, it would append it to 
the end.  It seems to be resetting the cursor to the first position instead.

For now, I just type everything in.
