[General] ParaView screen zooms in on its own when reading .vtk files

IwantTobeGood · December 15, 2019, 09:07

Hello. As I have stated in title, I have an issue with ParaView which causes it to zoom in without me doing anything. It only happens on .vtk files. Whenever I load the premade file and click apply, the screen with the results stays the same, but everything else suddenly zooms in. I have attached a picture of how it looks like.

For some reason I do not experience the same issue with .dat files. I know I can easily convert the files to .dat and the issue will be solved, but I would like to know what could cause such an error and how to fix it.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

EDIT: The issue happens on .dat files whenever I try to change what is being shown on "Surface" option. I have to stay on Density (for .vtk) or Solid Colour (for .dat) so it does not happen.

Hello Hubert,
some more info would be helpful!
Which OS and version? Linux, mac, win? And which ParaView version?
The ParaView forum might be the right place to ask this very specific question:

Hello Damian,

I am working on Windows 10, ParaView 5.7.0. I'll check out the paraview forums as well, thanks! It's just that I recieved a lot of help here last time and such thing never happened to me.

Just solved the issue with the help of ParaView community forum.

It was Intel GPU driver bug, which means I would have to restore previous version of the drivers.

But luckily my laptop has 2 GPUs and I just need to use Nvidia one - the bug does not happen there.
