Thanks for the quick reply guys

From academic curiosity point of view I would like to know what caused it, that is, if that’s not a pain for you to locate the source of this behaviour. From a product point of view I am happy to pin to v9.4.0 when it comes out, I am just slightly worried that this behaviour is unintentional and untracked in VTK, which is why I thought I should reach out to your Discourse.
As a side note, doing the clip and extract surface on both paraview and pyvista with all the newer VTK versions 9.3+ (didn’t test the older versions), seemed to be resulting in inconsistent normal orientations when exported as an STL, OBJ, etc. The fix I found was calling Clean, but I am not sure if that should be a requirement. Recomputing normals and exporting to a surface mesh didn’t work, and visualising in ParaView/trame showed the normals correctly oriented. I am not sure if the 2 issues are connected
