Summary0015539: Bad .config files, Could not determine array range
DescriptionWe are getting the following output when we have specific changes to .config files. First, the Output message:

Warning: In /projects/viz/paraview/src/ParaView/4.3.1a/ParaView4/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/Rendering/vtkSMPVRepresentationProxy.cxx, line 280
vtkSMPVRepresentationProxy (0x3cbd110): Could not determine array range.

Linux, 4.3.1, local server.

Next, the .config files to replicate.
* cd to your config directory. (.config/ParaView on Linux).
* Delete everything.
* Create a ParaView-UserSettings.json file in .config/ParaView with the following:
  
{
   "settings" : {
      "GeneralSettings" : {
         "InheritRepresentationProperties" : 1
      }
   }
}

Now, how to replicate:
* Sources/ Sphere. Apply.
* Color by Normals.
* Point Data to Cell Data filter. Apply.

No idea where this flag is coming from, but anyone that has it then has issues using Paraview until the .config files are deleted. This needs to be fixed.

"InheritRepresentationProperties" is coming from the settings dialog. There's an advanced setting (off by default) on the "General Tab" named "Inherit Representation Properties" that controls this. The description states the following:

========================================
Set whether representations try to maintain properties from an input
representation, if present. e.g. if you "Transform" the representation for a source, then any filter that you connect to it and show in the same view should be transformed using the same transformation as well.
========================================

The issue is that when the copying display properties from input (Sphere) to the filter (PointDataToCellData), the array chosen to color by on Sphere (Point:Normals) is no longer available on the PointDataToCellData. Hence it warns that the range for the same cannot be determined.
