[Support #VTJ-225540]: With the new trajectory controls, adjusting the Trajectory Start Level to an individual level and back to All Levels causes the trajectories to disapp



> Hello -
> 
> Our student tester found a bug with the "3D Volume Vector" display type where 
> if you change from "All Levels" to an individual starting level (e.g. "200 
> hPa"), and then back to "All Levels" the trajectories disappear.
> 

This should be fixed in tomorrow's nightly release.

> Note that I can't test this with the new "3D Grid Trajectory" display type 
> because "All Levels" isn't an option under the Trajectory Start Level menu.  
> Should this be there?
> 
This is not in my design, we need more discussion in our next telconf.

> Easy way to replicate:

> 2. Display '3D grid > Derived > 3D Flow Vectors' with the '3D Volume 
> Vector' display type (all times, entire domain).
> 3. Change to Trajectories in the Layer Controls/Displays tab
> * At this point, trajectories at All Levels are displayed
> 4. Change to an individual level, such as 200 hPa.
> * This works as expected
> 5. Change back to 'All Levels'.
> * There are no error messages, but the trajectories disappear
> 
> Note that this can't currently be tested in the IDV with the new "3D Grid

> Create a display of 3D trajectories (described in Request 4 of Inquiry 2360).
