This is bug number 5659.  Frankly, this has been a topic of debate for a while, 
since the solution is not trivial.

The problem is that ParaView creates a good scale for your glyph, using data 
from time step 0.  But, at time step 1, the data can be totally different.  For 
instance, if you use displacement from time step 0, displacement will be very 
near zero for time step 0, and (relative to time step zero) orders of magnitude 
larger for time step 1.

The same problem occurs with setting colors for variables, as well as 2d plot 
scales.

One option is to start using the last time step to create these scales, 
realizing that this will slow down the initial load times of large data.

Is this with ParaView CVS or 3.4?

Utarsh, it was with the CVS from a few days ago. When you just asked, I updated 
and recompiled (so I have the 10:30 am May 5 version) and the problem is still 
there.

Here is the model:
http://rpi.edu/~doriad/Scene.vtp

And the procedure:
1) Load the model
2) Filters -> Glyph
3) Change "Vectors" from "Colors" to "Normals"
4) Notice the glyphs are HUGE

Thanks,

Dave
