I have been using Paraview with vtu data for some time and never had this kind of issue before. In an attempt to compress my data, I decided to only work with h5/xdmf files. Unfortunately now particle tracers don’t work anymore. To be precise : Paraview starts giving out error messages after some time and doesn’t show anything, but doesn’t crash either. I tried it on the exact same data converted to vtu and it works fine. Here is the error

Also when removing “Compute Vorticity” on the particle tracer, with a vtkPolyData source, Paraview crashes (only with h5/xdmf).  
I am working with Paraview 5.11.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.4.

Edit : It looks like there is an issue with the temporal interpolator. It seems to corrupt the geometry.

Since it seems to be a problem with the temporal interpolator filter, I moved the [topic](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/bug-with-temporal-interpolator-filter/14031) to development.
