Summary

0015398: selection and menus don't work

Description

We are seeing a bug that is extremely hard to replicate. It shows up in two ways. First, you can't select any cells or points on the surface of the dataset. Second, you can't get the onscreen menu to work. We finally have a dataset to replicate this. Replicate exactly as follows (I bet it replicates on MAC, Windows also):

* 4.3.1, Linux, 8 servers
* Open dataset DoNotRelease-selectionAndMenuBug. (Ask Utkarsh or me for this dataset). Apply.
* Right click on the dataset. Notice that the menu doesn't appear - you only get "Link Camera". Selections of points and cells on the surface also don't work.
* Note - now, split screen horizontal. Spreadsheet. Sort by GlobalNodeId. Note that there are duplicates. Close the spreadsheet view.
* Turn off block 10, apply. Right click dataset. Normal menu has appeared.
* Turn on block 10, apply. Right click dataset. Normal menu still appears!

What I want - either make this so it always works, or fallback give a message what the problem is, and at least allow users to manually fix the issue (for instance, create a manual ParaView created internal GlobalNodeId). Currently, the hack/workaround is confusing and strictly voodoo.
