Bug Description

After opening a .case file in paraview 3.98.0-1~exp1 and clicking apply to view a contour plot, the dropdown menus in the properties panel become extremely wide, as highlighted in the attached screenshot. For previous ubuntu package versions 3.14 and 3.14.1, as well as the current paraview website's package 3.98.1, this does not occur. Upon opening a .case file and clicking apply, the dropdown menus are reasonable widths. Would recommend changing the ubuntu package to the newer, non-experimental build 3.98.1 (perhaps a bug for the experimental build). All versions tested were 64-bit.

Edit:

Upon further investigation, I found this link regarding the error, with a temporary fix:
http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2013-January/027118.html

Again, since the current version on the paraview website does not have this error, updating the Ubuntu repo to contain that version (or at least including an option to install a non-experimental version) should correct the issue.
