I am running a paraview web application in parallel (pvbatch with mpi).  
I want to add plane widget representation to a Slice filter (like in paraview desktop)

I am adding an implicit plane widget representation to a paraview proxy object of type Plane  
(SliceType proxy of Slice filter)  
using the ParaviewWebWidgetManager protocol’s createWidgetRepresentation RPC.  
The widget gets rendered to the view as shown below.

 ![pvbatch parallel cut plane widget](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a0c38b17e11734ce54bddd5e70d3a0be4b8e7c59.png)

However, when I try to use “PlaceWidget” on the widget proxy so that I set its bounds according to the input of the Slice filter, the view seems to show the previous and the new representation of the plane widget as shown below.

 ![pvbatch parallel cut plane widget after place widget](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/34d0debf833c6d4919dbaecc4244e84b93c0bb1f.png)

After the above step, if I set visibility of the widget proxy to True or False, it affects both the widget representations in the above image.

This problem does not occur if I run my application in serial mode. In serial mode, I am able to create a default widget representation and subsequently able to use PlaceWidget call on the widget proxy without any issues.

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Santosh
