In e.g. 'Extract Cells By Region' when you select 'Box' the box can be resized by moving the end points. It would be really nice if this could happen bi-directional so the centre does not change.
In the current behaviour it can be quite hard to e.g. select a few triangles on a complex surface since the centre shifts any time you move one of the endpoints.https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/12850pvblot crashes after database file is selected on OS X Lion2021-03-23T07:48:26-04:00Kitware Robotpvblot crashes after database file is selected on OS X Lion**This issue was created automatically from an original [Mantis Issue](http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12850).

When I need to make a video from an OpenFOAM simulation, I usually save a bunch of vtp files at runtime along with the associated vtp.series file, then I open it in Paraview and save png images via "save animation" (I finally process the png files via menconder).
However, if I have say 1500 files of 16MB size each, it takes more than 2 hours for Paraview to complete the process and looks like most of the time is spent reading the files.
Is this scenario reasonable? If so, is there a way to speed up the process or is there a better way to create animations?https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/20440Opening PVTU file yields different results than opening each piece separetely2021-01-18T11:13:56-05:00Gonzalo SáezOpening PVTU file yields different results than opening each piece separetelyHi everyone,

I'm facing an issue when visualizing the attached `pvtu` file. If I open this file in Paraview (5.9.0RC4 and other older versions) I see weird artifacts. However, if I open each `piece` of the considered `pvtu` file separetely I can observe the expected results. I attach a picture to explain this issue.
Does anyone know if this is problem is related to VTK? I have generated these files using the `vtkXMLPUnstructuredGridWriter` class.
Thank you!
