[Paraview] Volume Render Plot - Unreasonable results with vector components or magnitude

[Andrew]

Hello. I noticed the same behaviour in ParaView 4.3 on CentOS 6.7. Looks
like bug. Worked around with calculating the velocity magnitude as scalar.
There is also another bug or feature of volume rendering: I couldn't make
it render for all domains, it only renders one domain (for example, when I
load a CFD study results in EnSight Gold format).
