[Paraview] Orbiting camera

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I agree that this is stupid behavior and should be considered a bug.  To demonstrate more specifically, do the following:


 1.  Create a Superquadric source.  Apply.
 2.  Click the +Y camera view button.
 3.  Open the Animation View.
 4.  Create a Camera Orbit track.  Accept the default values.
 5.  Play the animation.

Notice that the animation begins and ends with the camera facing down the X axis rather than the Y axis where we initiated the orbit track.  It is logical to expect the animation to begin and end at the camera position at the time of creating the track.

Should I add a bug?

Any thoughts on this?
