0006787: Comparative views timestep value range different than [0,1] creates wrong intermediate time values
When using data collection with a range of timestep values that is different than [0, 1], the multiple views are not generated at the correct intermediate timesteps.

example: timerange [0, 0.1] gives 4 frames at time 0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1
         timerange [10, 60] gives 4 frames at time 10, 10, 10, 10

If you have the ParaViewData directory, you can test this by opening can.ex2 or singleSphereAnimation.pvd, then switch to comparative view. Open comparative view inspector and click "update". You can add more frames using the inspector and click "update" to see more intermediate timesteps.

Tested client/server. Here are the directions on testing from Pat:


The clearest way to test is to use the annotate time filter so that timesteps are displayed, but a new bug was just found that makes annotate time + comparative view crash...

Anyway, here are steps...

1) Open paraview and right click on the horizontal bar just above the 3D view
2) Choose Convert To --> 3D View (Comparative)
3) Open can.exe2, click apply.
4) Open comparative view inspector, update shouldn't be grayed out anymore. Click update.
5) Use the spinbox to increase "number of X frames", click update, intermediate frames should be displayed.

The bug was, intermediate frames only worked if the timerange was 0-1, now any timerange will work.
