Python trace hangs during interaction with animation view

Reported on the paraview mailing list under the subject: [Paraview] Error using Python Trace in PV3.10-RC1
I found a problem using the Python Trace functionality with PV3.10-RC1. I've loaded in a dataset and started a trace. I then proceeded to take a slice through the dataset, which worked fine. Next, in the animation view, I added a cue based on the x-value of the slice origin. Double-clicking on the scalar bar gives the pop up window to set the start and end values. At this point, I can't change any of the values and ParaView just hangs. This only appears to happen with the variables that are essentially vector components (Normals and Origin); I can modify the scalar options without it crashing.
I did manage to get around the problem by adding one of the vector components as a track BEFORE starting the trace and then deleting it immediately. I can then start the trace, add the track again (or any of the options), modify its values without ParaView crashing.
