Hi,  
When I change the opacity, all the geometry vanishes. I think the problem is related to the error message I get when starting Paraview:  
Created temporary ‘damBreak.foam’  
Warning: Ignoring XDG\_SESSION\_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.  
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin  
qt5ct: D-Bus global menu: no  
How can I resolve this? I am desparate!

Should have added: I am running Paraview 5.6 on OpenSUSE 15.4, using the Vmware platform.
