I have an issue on both a custom build and prebuilt binary with paraview 5.8.1 in which a python state is saved with a renderview that has two colorbars that have defined positions.

At the end of the python script the two color bars are set to ‘on’ in the renderview

```auto
# show color legend
clip4Display.SetScalarBarVisibility(renderView1, True)

# show color legend
clip6Display.SetScalarBarVisibility(renderView1, True)

```

However, when this script is run in pvbatch, it turns out that only the second of these calls are enforced. The first colorbar is set to the default ‘top right’ position.

I have played around with Render(renderView1) in various locations but cannot manage to get both colorbars to their appropriate locations.
