I have my MultiBlockDataset reader working nicely now. I have a custom panel that contains a tree view and I can select various selections from the tree and have "something" rendered in the 3D view. Awesome. Now, the problems.

When I click on the "Information" tab to see the list of datasets that were actually read (The Heirarchy Table) the list is correct. But when I click on one of the data sets and then look at the "Data Arrays" table the name that appears has a " (partial)" appended to it. Where is that coming from and what does it mean?

Also, when I view the data as a "Surface" and then select one of the listed Arrays to "Color By" the rendered view just stays a solid color. Actually it looks like as long as I select the top most array to color by in the list, after the "Solid" and "vtkCompositeIndex" selections then I will get a proper rendering.

So for example, say I tell my reader to read the following 3 data sets: Phi1, Phi, Phi2. This will result is a MultiBlockDataset with 3 blocks. The "Color By" drop down will have the following:

Solid
vtkCompositeIndex
phi1
phi
phi2

If I select "phi1" the rendering is correct. If I select "phi" or "phi2" then I just get a solid color surface rendering.

Anyone seen anything like this or possibly know what is going on? I can supply all the source codes and experimental data if that is needed.
