You are correct - I misunderstood.  This is indeed a new bug.

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.

Alan, I don't follow. There is only time 0 in this example, so shouldn't the 
scale be well defined and constant? Bug 5659 seems to be dealing with the 
problem of glyph sizes not updating properly, this is dealing with them not 
being correct from the beginning.
