[Paraview] Time series of files with different dimensions

Hello,

I have a series of ASCII VTK files with 3D uniform rectilinear grid
data. Each file has different dimensions - one cooridnate (x) grows in
time. Let's say the first file is 4x9x9, next is 5x9x9 ... up to
100x9x9. When I load the files separately, they display correctly, but
if i load them as a time series together (from the file chooser, grouped
by timestep number). They are all rendered only as big as the first file
(4x9x9).

If i step through time, the "Bounds" and "Extents" on the Information
tab show correct values - the x coordinate is growing. But in the
rendering window will only show a 4x9x9 box for all files. I use a 3D
view with slice representation, but even the Outline stays small.

Today, I accidentaly managed to open one of the series, while still
having another file open, and suddenly it displayed correctly - the
dimensionsof the rendered graph were the actual dimensions as displayed
in the information tab, so it should be possible to do this - but I have
no idea, how I did it.

Is there some option to make ParaView update the dimensions for each
file in the series?

I'm using ParaView 3.98.1, Linux, 64-bit. I attache some sample files,
in case it would help.

Thanks,
Jiri Vyskocil
