Package: paraview Version: 5.4.1+dfsg4-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hello paraview Debian package maintainers, thanks for uploading a Debian revision that uses Qt5 rather than Qt4! I've just upgraded to it on my Debian testing box, but I found a bad regression that renders the package unusable to create beautiful and clear visualizations (this may be considered as basically the main purpose of paraview!). The attached test case is based on one of the data files generated by the little program included in the test case sent for bug #892293. The program source (written in Fortran) is included again for completeness' sake. Steps to reproduce the regression: 0) start paraview $ paraview 1) click on the "Open" button and open "wave0001.xyz" 2) specify "PLOT3D Files" in the "Open Data With..." dialog window 3) click on the "Apply" button 4) change the representation from "Outline" to "Surface With Edges" 5) from the File menu, select Save State... 6) save the state as "wave_PARAVIEW-VERSION.pvsm" 7) from the File menu, select Save Screenshot... 8) save the screenshot as "wave_PARAVIEW-VERSION.png" By performing these steps with paraview/5.4.1+dfsg3-2 and with paraview/5.4.1+dfsg4-2, I obtained the two attached screenshots. In paraview/5.4.1+dfsg4-2 there seems to be a commendable attempt to apply some antialiasing to all the lines (including the edges on surfaces, the wireframe edges, but also the lines of the orientation axes, and so forth...). Unfortunately this new feature creates unsightly images, whenever the edges are shown from a distance. Please take a look yourself at the wave_5.4.1+dfsg4-2.png screenshot: all the intersections between edges seem to be somehow "blotted" and unpleasant to look at. Please fix this regression, as it makes paraview unusable. Thanks for your time!
